Networking is a crucial element of job hunting because many jobs are never advertised. Employers prefer to interview and hire
people referred to them by friends, family, or current employees. In a job market where employers have limited budgets to advertise roles, they are more actively using their networks to identify potential recruits.
I came across this article on networking for jobsearching – think it’s well worth a read.
