Your network
is absolutely pivotal
when you’re looking for one.
“… a recent CareerXroads survey
shows that only 15 percent of
positions were filled through job
boards. Most jobs are either filled
internally or through referrals. When
you spend all your time and energy
scoping out jobs and applying,
you’re hurting your chances.”
