3. 1. About „NETWORKING“
Networking is not an event…it is a process.
It’s not about how many business cards you give out or
collect or how many friends or followers you have.
Business networking is the process of building mutually
beneficial relationships to boost referrals for everyone
involved.
Networking isn’t just about acquiring new business; it is
about surrounding yourself with a support network for
your life in general. You can never have too many
contacts!
It’s about the quality of the connections you make, your
Person A Person B Person C Person …
follow up with those connections and the value YOU
provide.
“If two people in a social network have a person in common, then there is an increased
likelihood that they will know each other at some point in the future. “
(From the book Networks, Crowds, and Markets: Reasoning about a Highly Connected World. By David Easley and Jon Kleinberg.
Cambridge University Press, 2010.)

4. 2. WHY „NETWORKING“
Networking helps you…
• Gain information about a discipline, firm, or industry (especially about changes)
• Narrow your choices for careers, job search, academic majors, internships
• Meet new and interesting/influential people
• Re-establish contact with people you already know
• Connect with people who can assist and support your career management activities
• Create opportunities through contacts
• … and more

10. 8. HBR Management Tip
Network with Purpose
“When it comes to networking, quality matters more than quantity.
But how do you meet the right people?
One way is to ask for introductions. Reach out to influential people in your network and ask
them to put you in touch with others.
Be specific about the introductions you want and why you want them. Explain what you are
trying to achieve and the kind of contacts that would help you get there. Are you seeking
your next job opportunity? Are you looking for ways to promote yourself? If you’re
uncomfortable with being bold, remember that people enjoy helping others and you can
always return the favor with some introductions of your own.”
