Why Network?
 Networking can be very helpful to your career. The purpose is to develop a network of friendly people who share information to help each other. Networking is a strategy for opening the hidden job market and getting a good job. Up to 80% of the job openings are not advertised, so it is essential that you develop friendly relationships with people who can tip you off to job openings, perhaps even introduce you to the key person who is doing the hiring. There is truth in, "It's not what you know, but who you know."
