The benefits of networking
01
Discover the hidden job market
70% of quality jobs never make it to LinkedIn. They’re filled via word-of-mouth referrals from relationships and loose connections.
02
Find roles early
Your contacts often know about new roles and opportunities before they become public or make it to LinkedIn.
03
Limit your competition
By connecting to jobs via a connection you get on the short list of candidates and your resume gets reviewed.
04
Know what is real
You work with people who have reliable information about real positions minimizing chances of chasing fake jobs or getting ghosted.
05
Increase your chances
Even if you don’t match the job precisely, you’re more likely to be considered because you were introduced through a real person.
06
Find your people
You build a network of contacts who become your advocates, helping you open doors and making the job search process less lonely.
“Networking is a skill that can be learned, refined, and perfected. It’s equal parts formula and finesse.”
Prior networking attempts
You may have attempted networking previously but didn’t get the results you wanted. What you were missing was a networking plan and structure. A guide and predictable approach to help you scale and strengthen your network beyond your known contacts. This builds momentum and confidence while honing in on your ideal position.
Your guide to practical networking
For most of my career, I have relied on my professional connections–new and old– to find jobs and grow my career. These connections were found, built, and strengthened as I developed and refined my networking skills.
Over the years, I have experimented with what works and what doesn’t and now I teach job seekers the skills to help them find their next position on their own terms.
