The difference between knowing the perks of networking and effective networking is immense. Having an online profile is in a way touching base with people and making some connections. But Is that what all networking is?

Networking when done right can help in case you decide to start your own business, climb the career ladder or even form associations with like-minded people; the possibilities of networking effectively are endless, here are a few:

  • Finding candidates for job: If hiring is your forte, your contacts can help you refer or at least get in touch with prospective candidates
  • Understand a career option closely: while choosing a career it is very important to gather the necessary information, one of the best ways to learn about a career is to take a peek into your current network and start a conversation with them!
  • Learn about an employer: Although there are websites that provide insights on companies, their reviews and description can be a bit misleading, to find out about your employers networking can be of help, the more vast your network is the higher the chance you encounter someone with a personal experience regarding your employer.
  • Learn about clients: pitching your business or products to clients can be a less tedious process with networking, you can always ask one of your contacts to help out but make sure that you are cautious about the kind of information you are exchanging.
