Networking
While you are in a job, there are several ways you can strengthen your position and build towards future growth.
Below are a few strategies you might find useful on a day to day and week to week basis to keep your progress going.
Networking
Networking involves developing professional relationships with others. This does not mean becoming friends, or even liking them. It is about getting to know people in your field, in your company, and in your geographic region so that you are familiar with what they do, who they know, and what they know about you. Having a strong network provides you with sources of information that can help you navigate your current and future positions. Today this includes networking in person at work or via professional organizations and through online channels such as LinkedIn and Twitter.
