What Is Networking?

At its core, networking is simply meeting people.  At its best, networking is creating, developing and nurturing connections with other professionals to advance your career.  

When we think of networking, we often think of a formal event that has “networking” in the title.

But that isn’t the only time we network. 

We network every single day.  When we post on Facebook, we are networking.  When we strike up a conversation on line at the grocery store, we are networking.  When we attend the annual homecoming game, 
we are networking. 

But, Making Networking Work for you requires that you network intentionally.
