While searching for the next job opportunity, you will almost certainly come across “networking”. We will explain what it means and how you can use networking to optimize your daily life and your job search.

Networking is the process of building and maintaining a network of relationships with people who know and inform each other. Sometimes, these people will promote each other and provide other benefits. Networking, however, is not limited to online platforms, as many think. Your relatives, your circle of friends, your fellow students, and the members of your sports club all form networks of which you are a part of and which you can and should use. In addition, networking is not limited to people you already know, but it includes those you attract and influence through your content on social media. This includes recruiters and future employers.
