You’ve decided to make a career change. That is huge, as decision is the most challenging step, or at least, should be the most challenging step.

Now, the job hunt begins. We all know the incredible power of networking in sourcing and finding jobs. We know it’s being able to get your foot in the door to a hidden job market that could be a stepping stone to your dream career. You’re feeling apprehensive about how to start, though? Don’t be! Let us help you stop worrying and get started with networking.
Do you feel uncomfortable with networking because you will be putting your job hunt into the hands of people you don’t know? Or because you are not great at mixing with new people?

Sure, it’s little consolation to you that other people have the same problem(s) in opening up to strangers. It seems then you have two options: reject networking and understand you’re at a considerable disadvantage in your job hunt, so it’ll take longer to find a job. Or the second and more profitable option, accept networking, own it and resolve to conquer your fears.
