Here’s how most job searches go:

• You need a job, so you start looking online for jobs. 
• You find one you like. 
• So you tweak your resume and put in your application.
• Then you pray to the recruiting gods that your application will be picked for an interview.

This is a very ineffective way to get your resume and experience seen.

You can’t just apply online and hope something sticks to the wall. 

But here’s the thing…

Networking is responsible for 85% of all jobs.

85%!

I’ll let that sink in.

You can’t ignore this statistic! Networking is VITAL for getting a job. 

In today’s episode, we talk about why networking is so important and the steps you need to take to start networking the right way.

Listen here.

Action Steps to apply to YOUR journey:

Steps you need to be taking when thinking about networking

1. Get your mind right – get rid of the lies that you believe that’s keeping you from effectively networking
2. Get a strategy in place – the problem with most people when they’re networking is they don’t have a clear strategy (we’ll help you with this in the workshop)
3. Be consistent – networking can’t be a one time thing
4. Build relationships – you never want someone to feel used so you need to serve in these professional relationships you’re building

I’m rooting for you friends!
