2. Build Career Connections for Career Advancement
Meaningful career connections are very key to your career advancement; who are your connections in your industry of choice? Much as this is the age of internet and all things online, word of mouth is still very efficient in getting news of the next available vacancy, industry career workshops, networking meetings etc. Your career connections to help advance should also include mentors and influencers in your industry. Avoid becoming a leech when dealing with your networks. Instead, show appreciation and be patient and respectful to them for their time and effort.
