Today your skills can only take you so far. If you want to get far you have to have connections. Just recently I applied for a job in where I had experience as well as the required items that the job requested; a friend of mine was applying for the same job. She had no experience nor did she bring any of the requested items. But what she did have was CONNECTIONS. She knew the manager and most of the staff. In the end she was the one that got the job. Also recently I applied to a pizza place, I am sure many applicants worked in the food industry before but I had not. I ended up getting hired because my dad new the manager, so my connections got me the job. That is why in this economy we have to network, network, network! Because trust me the saying ” it’s not what ya know it’s who ya know” is so true.
