Networking is essential for job seekers, proving more effective than relying solely on résumés. Building relationships can significantly influence hiring decisions, especially for those with limited experience. The primary method to secure interviews is knowing someone at the company or receiving a recommendation. Job seekers should allocate 60% to 70% of their time to networking, contrasting with the common tendency to focus almost entirely on online applications. Engaging personally with potential employers can lead to endorsements that increase the chances of getting interviews.
The No. 1 way to get an interview is to know someone at an organization or have someone recommend that you talk to someone at a specific company.
People hire people, they don't hire paper. Job seekers too often think of recruiting and applying for jobs as transactional processes.
Spend 60%-70% of your time networking. Most students will say, 'Whoa, I spent like 100% of my time online,' missing crucial personal interactions.
