Networking: The Power of Personal Connection
Overview
Too many people work tirelessly to get a University degree and build valuable skills only to find that their hard work wasn’t enough to land their dream job. According to CNBC, “up to 70% of all jobs are not published on publicly available job search sites, and research has long shown that anywhere from half to upwards of 80% of jobs are filled through networking.”
At the same time, research shows that most working adults hate networking, consider it selfish, and fail to make it a priority in their career journey. Following the lead of American entrepreneur Keith Ferrazzi, we will flip the script on this outdated belief to see how “the currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.”
