Networking Your Way to a Job
It’s estimated that more than sixty percent of jobs are found through networking while fewer than four percent are found over the Internet. For every hour your child spends searching for jobs online, is he/she spending 16 hours networking? That’s doubtful!The single best way to get a job is to know somebody. Yes, it should be based on merit alone, but unfortunately (or fortunately) that isn't how it works. Understanding how to network – from whom to contact to what to say - can have a huge impact on your child’s ability to land a job.
