To add to this, business networking, building career networks and developing personal contacts is very important when seeking jobs. This is because up to 70% of jobs are never advertised.
ReplyDeleteSome useful tips: Ensure you have a business card to the ready (best way to give out contact details). Be proactive about finding contacts and use their insight and advice. Be interested in what they say, stay confident and remain professional because successful networking is a good forum for others to introduce and recommend you.
