Networking for Your Career
Networking is another stepping stone to taking control of your goals for your future. In the modern world, in fact,
networking is becoming more and more important as we are seeing the amazing growth and popularity of many online
networking avenues such as Facebook™, MyspaceTM, Twitter™, and LinkedIn™ to name just a few. Most of us are
becoming quite familiar with social networking; however, the kind of networking that will be especially important for your
future success is professional networking.
When we talk about professional networking, we are talking about the relationships that you are building with people who
can somehow contribute and support your academic and career success. Maybe your current supervisor realizes that you
are taking online classes in order to advance within the company and has supported you in this endeavor. This supervisor
is an important part of your network. Maybe a classmate who is working on a similar degree program has suggested a
class that you should take. This classmate is an important part of your network. There are many different ways to build a
professional network; however, it takes time and ongoing effort, so it would be a good idea to start building or adding to
your own professional network NOW!
Advantages of Professional Networking
• Career Opportunities
Many jobs are now found through professional networking, so it will be important for you to start building a strong network
of friends and colleagues well before you are ready to make a career change or look for a new job. According to the
United States Department of Labor, approximately 70% of all jobs obtained in the country are secured through
networking.
• Advice and Support
2
There are many people out there who have been where you are now. As you add more people to your professional
network, you are also building a strong support base for yourself. It is amazing how many people will be willing to offer
your ideas and insights that will help you to reach your goals.
• Confidence and Trust
As you begin to build a strong network, you are building a foundation for your own success. Your network will consist of
people who support you, people who know what you are capable of, and people you can trust and rely upon.

What is Networking?
Q: “It’s not what you know but who you know” – True or False?
A: False
It’s not what you know, or who you know
– but how well you know them that really
counts in networking.
3. O p p o r t u n i t y b e y o n d h a n d s h a k e
Contact or Connection
A contact is a person you know but with whom you
have not yet established a strong relationship.
A connection, on the other hand, is someone who
knows you and trusts you because you’ve established
a level of credibility with that person.
You have lots of contacts, but how
many connections do you have?

Networks of Relationships
“We think of ourselves as individuals, but we
are embedded in networks of relationships
that define and sustain us.”
Michael P Nichols
