You must develop relationships and connections within your network to have more opportunities to advance your career. Attending meetings and social events hosted by your professional association is a great way to connect with people in your field. Ask friends, family members, and acquaintances already in your circle to introduce you to people they know.

Networking requires a two-way street. You can’t expect to take information and insights from your contacts without sharing your communications with them. It is about trust and helping each other.
