Importance of networking

Just wanted to throw this out there, take it or leave it.

I posted a few weeks ago on a sorority email list that we are hiring at my agency.

Mind you, I rarely keep in touch with any of these women anymore.

Anyways, I had someone from there who I do not know personally, contact me that her friend who it appears lost her job due to a layoff this winter, was looking, and could I hand in her resume.

I did, and my boss ended up loving this person and basically hired her on the spot.


So you just never know!

I just wanted to give those of you looking some more hope :)

Network is INCREDIBLY impt. I work in the insurance field and that is one of the best ways to get in the door.
