How Networking Can Benefit Your Career
What's Included in Our Networking eBook
Networking is pivotal to a successful career, yet it’s something most people have little to no formal instruction on.
We probably don’t need to convince you much of the importance of networking. According to a survey conducted by LinkedIn, a whopping 85% of jobs are filled through networking. But in this eBook, we will explore beyond networking just to land your next job and take the the long view instead.
Professional networking is a way to enrich your interests, create long-lasting mentorships, and gain knowledge in complex industries. It’s also a powerful tool to enrich your current position, and make yourself a more valuable contributor to the workplace in general.

Kathryn Minshew, CEO and Founder of The Muse
