Why would you want to expand your professional network?
- The more people you know, the more opportunities you'll have. That applies to starting a company, finding interesting internal projects, and even to being promoted at work.
- A larger network means more opportunities to gain guidance and access to mentors. Guidance in your career and life is a hugely under-appreciated tool for success.
- Networks provide support when times are rough. If you lose your job,new applicants get hired 55% faster when they apply through a referral.
- More access to influential people means more access to career tips and tricks. Being effective at your job is as much about learning on the job as learning from others in comparable positions.
- The more people you know the more your perceived status. Being well connected is more often than not considered a respectable trait.
