Background - What is networking?

Networking is often about meeting people who have similar interests, professions, or industries. These people can exchange ideas and information. Professional networking is often done in informal settings, which is not related to computer networking. Networking can take place at events, in your office or through industry associations. It can also be done informally via email, LinkedIn or other methods.

Although networking is essential, it doesn't need to be intimidating. Many times networking takes place in casual business settings. This could be at work or at happy hour. You can also network at events that are specifically designed for networking. The goal of networking is to help professionals grow their careers.

You can network with both your coworkers and those outside your organization. You can also network with old friends and complete strangers. It's about the intention of supporting your career path (and others'). Your network is the best way to find a job, or even a promotion within your company. Why is networking so important Referrals are often the key word. 31% of job seekers find listings through professional connections, particularly referrals. The networking process can lead to opportunities that are not possible otherwise.

A strong professional relationship can help you hand-deliver your resume directly to the hiring manager. This will help you stand out and possibly land the job you desire. Here are four reasons networking is crucial for your career development.

1. - Social networking is a key to your well-being
2. - Networking can lead to the exchange and sharing of ideas
3. - Networking can help you meet people from all levels of your profession
4. – Networking increases your professional confidence
