What are three reasons that applicants and organizations benefit from networking?

  • Each has opportunity to learn more about the other without jumping too quickly or rejecting an opportunity prematurely.
  • Each begins with a level playing field, putting more emphasis on the job challenge and what it takes to meet it than looking for individual differences and exceptions.
  • Each can present and respond with greater candor and less concern of rejection.
