This is the "networking" you are referring to. Change the word and it sounds like something else. The old idea of "networking" that turns you off is the idea of "it's not what you know, but who you know," meaning that you have to know rich and powerful people. The reality is that you have a better chance of hearing about a good job if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone that can hook you with the right people. So yes, networking is just having friends with friends. It's all basic sociology. Good stuff. It's not about an exclusive society. You are the society. Meeting people isn't a sin. Get out there and make more friends and your chances of getting a job will be greater. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
