Networking is key
• Build and maintain a strong network – start with your classmates, former colleagues and friends
• Extending your network is important both for successful career progression and significant job transitions (alumni pool: 41,000+ )
• More than 70% new job leads come through networking contacts. More corporate recruiters are ‘quiet recruiting’
• In a new job, raising your visibility and knowledge through internal networking with the right people increases success in management decisions.
• In leadership roles, internal and external networking is essential. The skills for successful leadership hinge on influence and strategic decisions based on diverse sources of knowledge.
