Phyllis Korkki writes the Career Couch column for the New York Times. In the recent article, You May Not Like It, but Learn to Network, she answers a series of questions about why networking is so important for the job search.
I have always been a big believer in building your network when you don't need people's immediate help. Get to know people now so when you need them they will be there in the future. Much like asking a bank for a line or credit, it is better to get approved before you need the cash so when you really need the help, you have already established a relationship.
I encourage you to read Phyllis' article to learn more about the power of networking during these challenging economic times.
