Networking

Several years ago I was the guest speaker at a luncheon for thirty or so risk managers.

One of the things we talked about was networking.

This, of course, was not during a period of possible recession, but the same principles apply now as they did then.

Everything I read indicates, other than through yours truly (of course!), that more positions are filled from referrals / people that you know, than any other source.

So…. If you have a network, strengthen it.

If you don’t, start creating one.

The time to do this is while you’re employed, not waiting until it’s too late to get it done effectively.
