Connecting v. Networking

Does the word "networking" feel negative to you? You're not alone. But it's critical:

*80-85% of positions are filled through networking
*70% of jobs are not published publicly

Think about it as connecting versus networking. It's all about being curious and asking for advice. It's not about reaching out to someone and telling them what you need. You don't need a close connection to help you get a job.

How can you make new connections?
