While COVID-19 presents unique challenges, here are a few reminders about why networking is important:

• Networking builds relationships
• Most people you meet have at least 250 contacts
• Anyone you might want to meet is at most only 4-5 degrees of connection from you
• 70 – 80% of jobs are not posted
• LinkedIn survey reveals 85% of jobs are filled by networking
• Networking identifies mentors and sponsors
