Expanding Your Professional Network discusses how to build a professional network through both in-person and social media networking. It explains that a professional network consists of acquaintances rather than close friends. Building relationships and credibility over time through networking events and social media is key to developing a strong professional network. Favors and referrals exchanged with contacts can be deposited in a "favor bank" to be drawn upon when needed.
