Networking is one of those dirty words in life that always elicits eye-rolls and groans. But it remains one of the most valuable and useful ways to get into doors that might not otherwise open through traditional job applications and interviews.
While we often view networking as rubbing elbows at a dinner party or attending boring networking events, it’s not always like that. More often, it’s friends we meet throughout life, either through an early job, a family friend, or even a parent at our kids’ school. What does remain true, however, is that the earlier we start and the more often we make those connections, the better off we are.
Meet Michelle Enjoli, a networking superstar who took her connecting and networking superpowers to a whole other level to get not just one of her dream jobs, but nearly all of them. That’s right, Michelle claims that about 95% of her jobs have been through her network, which is amazing.
