[quote=Anonymous]I agree it is very different from Europe. I am from the UK and found a number of jobs there without any networking. It is just much more common there to post jobs, interview people, and make decisions on the basis of CV, qualifications etc. There are some exceptions - especially the financial sector, where jobs do tend to be allocated to friends of friends. But here I would guess two or three times as many jobs are found on the basis of networks. It would seem inefficient to me but that is the way it works. I will say that it is not necessarily about the number of contacts you have as much as the quality. Having one or two very good and trusted people vouch for your abilities and work ethic can be worth more than 100 facebook friends pointing you in the right direction.[/quote]
