That colleague told her they were looking for someone with exactly her experience and skill set.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t find the job on a job board.<\/p>\n<p>She was asked if she would like to speak to the hiring manager.<\/p>\n<p>To me, this is one of the most powerful examples of what a strong network can do for your career.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the part people often forget: \ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude01 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf8\ud835\ude00 \ud835\uddef\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf5 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude06\ud835\ude00.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t just have a large network.
