The Importance of Networking – Virtual Networking Tips
I don’t want to pass up the opportunity to share an article I read about the importance of networking. Here are a few highlights:
What words come to mind when you think of “networking”? If you’re like some of our team members, your words might all be synonyms for “torture”. The pandemic might then have been a relief in some way. You can attend events from the comfort of your own home, keep your video off and get away without saying a word.
However, despite some negative feelings, networking can be a powerful tool to help you advance your career. Virtual work and virtual networking are the new norm for the foreseeable future, this article explores the importance of networking for your career and provides a few virtual networking tips.
The importance of networking for your career
Access to support and/or advice from experts is now more important than ever. Your network is a source of knowledge and information you can tap into. The more diverse and widespread your network, the more likely you are to have access to resources about different topics and various situations.
You can thus gain access to new knowledge, thoughts and opinions by talking to people from different backgrounds with different areas of expertise. You can share challenges, best practices and tips with others in your field and in other fields.

The more you network and speak to people, the more people know you and are likely to think of you when they need support or information. You can become one of the “go-to” people in your field.
Not only does helping others make it easier for you to ask for favours when you need them, it also feels pretty good.
