Networking is the single best way to find a job and is a valuable professional development tool. According to Careermag.com, 20-25 percent of available jobs are listed in newspapers, trade journals or employment offices. The remaining 75 percent of jobs today are a result of networking.

Networking is a two-way street that can put you in touch with possible mentors, employers, summer internship providers, graduate school professors, and peer professionals; but you must also be ready, and actively look, to return the favor. Networking is communicating with the purpose of achieving a career-related goal. It is not asking for a job. It is asking for advice and suggestions on areas that may include employment opportunities. Look out for possible contacts and remember to reciprocate when the time comes.  Additional tips on networking may be found at the University of Wisconsin College of Engineering and Applied Science career center.
