Most people think hard work is enough to get ahead, but in reality, who you know matters just as much as what you know. Here’s why networking is the secret weapon for career success and how to do it the right way.
1. Networking Opens Up Hidden Opportunities
80% of jobs are never posted online—networking helps you access them.
Talking to people in your industry can get you inside info on job openings.
2. It Helps You Learn from Successful People
Connect with mentors who can guide your career path.
Learn from people who have already done what you want to do.
3. Networking is Easier Than You Think
Start small: Engage on LinkedIn, attend industry events, or message someone for coffee.
Focus on giving value first, not just asking for favors.
