Network your way to success
"It's not what you know, it's who you know" is an adage that has always been crucial in the business world. After all, most of the business we do is based upon relationships. In lots of professional circles networking has come to be regarded as a necessary skill that can lead to new jobs and new customers.
Remember, though, networking isn't about the quantity of contacts you make; it's about the quality of relationships you have created. They should always be mutually beneficial. Find out how networking can help you establish better relationships in our careers feature on page 72.
