While COVID-19 presents unique challenges, here are a few reminders about why networking is important:
- Networking builds relationships
- Most people you meet have at least 250 contacts
- Anyone you might want to meet is at most only 4-5 degrees of connection from you
- 70 – 80% of jobs are not posted
- LinkedIn survey reveals 85% of jobs are filled by networking
- Networking identifies mentors and sponsors
