Your network

You're not adding enough value to your network or diversifying it.

Essentially, networking is about building meaningful relationships and adding value to help achieve specific goals. When you approach networking with the desire to help someone else, you'll develop stronger relationships. Share insightful information, resources, or make a connection to people or opportunities that may be of interest.

Don't wait until you're desperate or want something before you build relationships. None of us like to be used, so why do it to others? You may not know anyone that does what you'd like to do or be familiar with anyone in the industry, so be intentional about building a diverse network. Doing so can help you learn, grow and increase your chances of finding a great opportunity.
