Open the door trough a success professsional life
What is gratifying to know is that your network always has the potential to expand, and at any given time , you could have a lot of people invested in your success and helping to achieve it.
Your network can work for you even when you ‘re not given it your full attention, as career counselor Mihaela Simbotin discovered: "I was employed in a company and someone contact me to propose a job, and that because I was active in a social network and my profile was available for a new career oportunity". (eram angajata intr-o companie si cineva m-a contacta sa-mi propuna un job deoarece in profilul meu de pe site-ul de netw soc eram trecuta ca available for a job), It was working even though I didn’t know it.
One way to look at how can your network work for you is to think of it as a series of overlapping circles. The innermost circle consist of your closest and most trusted friends and advisers. These are people you would turn to first in a time of crisis – say, if you lost your job. Working outward, the next circle is the people you don’t know quite as well but do feel confortable
For optimal career development, networking should be an outgoing process. Virtually all networking experts advise that you should not wait until you’re in crisis to begin networking.
Instead you will likely find it beneficial to set up a networking timetable to help you set goals.

With whom, where and and when should you network? The short answer is: everyone, everywhere and all the time. Open the door trough a success life
Statistic from recruitment:
24 percent from direct contact with potential employers (“cold” contacts)
23 percent from school or student organization, employment or temporary services.
5 percent from responding to classified advertising
48 percent from referrals from friends or relatives (networking)
And there you have it: Almost half of all jobs come from networking
Why is networking so important: the hidden job market – the 75 to 95 percent of jobs that are never advertised
Networking can be divided into two categories:
Developmental networking: Networking for further contacts and referrals
Strategic networking: Direct networking that lays the foundation
Most of success people network. Networking is more than making new contacts, find business opportunities, jobs, IT’S A WAY OF LIFE. Most successful networkers
make it a lifestyle,
It takes only one person to start your network , because that person can refer you to others. If each person you contact does the same, your network will expand exponentially. You should also be willing to do as much as you can encourage others to want to get to know you and help you.
We’ve all heard the old expression: “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know” The suggestion is that no matter how smart and talented you are, you don’t have the same competitive edge in the job market as someone who is well connected.
Networking is most effective when both the networker and the contact benefit from the relationship, it means in participating in a give-and-take. The key word is “sharing”. Networking is planning and making contacts and sharing information for professional and personal gain.
Networking is a lot like sales and marketing, and all are about establishing and cultivating personal and professional relationship. That’s what networking comes down to: talking to people, making friends, building relationship – all with a little self promotion.
