Building a professional network
summary
Claims that 80% of jobs come through contacts and one referral landed a role within a week after months of fruitless applications. Practical steps: know the names and roles of people you work with, always say hello and make small talk, be ready to help colleagues, and maintain contact after people leave. These actions build a network that speeds hiring, provides technical and people-help, and creates peer support rather than just job leads.
