At 2Actify.com, we teach that successful networking may not happen instantly. Even though some networking interactions may seem benign, any number of them can grow into career opportunities days, months or even years down the road. And that's more likely when you stay
in touch!
When you're referred to hiring managers by professionals in your network, you'll get more interviews. When you present your value to the company and hiring manager in those interviews, you will generate offers.
