From the Capella University Career Center

From Dr. Steven Brown | February 17th, 2009

Networking continues to be the most effective job search resource. This makes sense when you consider the risks an employer takes when hiring someone; the risks are greatly reduced for the employer when a candidate is recommended by a respected colleague, or when there is an opportunity to get to know someone outside of the formal interview process. In this tough economy, organizations can’t afford to make costly hiring mistakes. While you may have exemplary credentials highlighted on your resume, networking can make your job search more efficient and effective.

 

Following are some tips for how to successfully network.

 

Best of luck in your job search!
