Lehigh University: Alumni

One of the best strategies you can employ in your career transition or your job search is networking. Actually, even if you're not in transition, you should still be networking. You never know what opportunity may present itself! 

Think about this: about 75% of positions available aren't even advertised. How do people find them? Networking! Talking with people you know and asking them to introduce you to other folks is the core of networking.
