Networking
Networking is a focused way of developing and building a group of professional contacts who can serve as friends and resources during your career.
Benefits of Networking
- Your contacts can help you develop professionally and open doors to career opportunities.
- Networking can include advice, recommendations, or actually being hired. Each person you have contact with may bring you one step closer to the job you desire or your career goals.
- In the small world of pharmacy, networking is extremely important because most pharmacy positions are filled by word of mouth.
