The Lion’s Pride

Networking

Networking gets a bum rap.

The perception is based on either a) a desperate person grasping at straws to avoid financial disaster; or b) a slimy individual who’s looking to get something for nothing.

Those perceptions are misconceptions. (Say that line three times fast!)

True networking is a give and take. As you reap, so you sow. You gotta give a little to get a little.

Networking, in the true sense, is based upon building lasting relationships.

Statistically, you already know 300 people. This section will help you grow that number, as well as show you how to get the most out of networking. It’s here to help you increase your effectiveness as a job hunter, as well as an employee.
