Career Networking
Career Networking is using your direct contact and referrals in the job search process making use of their contacts and sharing knowledge and information.
A vast number of job openings are never advertised. They are usually filled from direct contacts and referrals. Hence every job seeker has to have a network that can provide him with information, support and job leads. Building a career network is not easy at the start. It makes you vulnerable to others. But once you have mastered the art and shed your inhibitions, career networking will not only help you find your dream job, but will also help you scale in your career.
