Having a well-established network has become an important part of our lives. The easiest way to expand your network is to build on the relationships with people you know; family, friends, classmates, colleagues and acquaintance’s. Actually, we are all expanding our networks daily. Think about it, who would you ask if you needed and electrician, a plumber, a dry-waller, a painter or landscaper? You would likely ask a family member, friend or close colleague if they know anyone they would recommend or maybe you would go to Angie’s List or the Better Business Bureau. These are all ways of networking.
5 Reasons why networking is important:
- Networking can help you start your own business
- networking can help you climb the career ladder
- Networking is a long-term investment
- Networking leads to lifelong friendships
- networking is encouraged by Business schools
Today networking has become an essential aspect of your job search. Even if you are well established in your job and have no plans of moving or advancing your career soon, networking has proven to be a valuable tool. You must develop relationships and connections within your network to have more opportunities to advance your career. Attending meetings and social events hosted by your professional association is a great way to connect with people in your field.
