Breaking The Myths About Career Networking

Networking is often a misunderstood concept. The development of a strong network requires making connections that will sustain more than a simple introduction. Those connections, and the support required to maintain them, are the necessary ingredients to developing a network. An initial meeting or contact with someone does not establish a connection unless there is followup of some kind. The followup must suggest a genuine interest in developing a mutually supportive relationship.
