Networking

By Mahmood Reza

We all have a network of people in our lives that have a variety of knowledge, skills and abilities that we can tap into for support and advice. 


What is a network?

  • Your network is all your professional connections now or in the future
  • Anyone you have a connection with, directly or indirectly
  • Your professional network are the links you have to people who can support you
  • Your professional network are the links you have to people that YOU can support
Networks are mutually advantageous

Use your network
