Research shows that anywhere from 70 to 85 percent of jobs are filled through networking. Therefore, networking is a skillset that must be learned - regardless of how naturally it currently feels to you.

Think Broadly About What You Can Give
Find a Higher Purpose
I then share how the holiday season presents you with a great opportunity to practice these networking strategies with people you already know or have some familiarity with through common friends.
