What you'll learn

Why your network is a career asset

How to build relationships that create access to opportunities, so you’re not relying on job applications alone.

How to build a reputation that travels

Make your value visible so people remember what you bring and think of you when opportunities arise.

Who you actually need in your network

Identify the peers, connectors, mentors and sponsors who can open doors and advocate for you.

How to build genuine relationships before you need them

Build authentic professional relationships consistently, so you’re never starting from zero.

Why this topic matters

Job applications are getting more competitive. Applications per vacancy are up 286% year on year, while just 3% of applicants reach interview. Sending more CVs isn’t enough. The relationships, reputation and visibility you build every day can help open doors, so when you enter the room, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re starting with leverage.
