What does this mean? If you\u2019re in the market for a new job and you are relying solely on online portals such as Indeed and LinkedIn Jobs, you\u2019re missing out. Most people know networking is important to boost their career but they often don\u2019t know how or where to begin. One of the best ways to start networking is to ask relevant professionals to set up an informational interview to provide you with guidance or direction. Fortunately, most people want to help young professionals and they also enjoy talking about themselves and their career.
