Develop a Network
It is estimated that over 80% of jobs are never formally advertised; they are filled by word of mouth, which means having a network of contacts is key to locating those jobs that are in the “hidden” job market. Networking is about building relationships and is a key part of successfully landing an internship, CO-OP, part-time, or full-time opportunity.
