Most executive job seekers look to executive recruiters and job boards for open positions. The problem with this is recruiters get 15% of all executive searches and fill half of them, and only 1% of anybody ever gets a job from a job board.

I honestly don't know what I would do without my strong network of career professionals. Working as solopreneurs, being able to bounce ideas off someone is essential to personal and professional development. People that don't get the value of a network, don't get the value a network brings either. Meg, thank you. I love the term Jason Alba coined in one of his blog posts a while back, "microwave networking". Friendships don't work that way. Networks don't either. Contact waxes and wanes naturally, but it's long-term relationship that bring the best rewards. Thank you both for adding to the conversation! Thanks Erin.

(I love your Tweets for this reason, too.) Too many workers from customer service to CEOs think they can plug in and out of their networks - if they even have one - and we, as career professionals, must educate all on the critical need to network for the life of their careers. Yes, your "network is your net worth" and I thank you for sharing this career axiom with the world. As always, Dawn, your words hit the nail right on the head!

Yes, having a network is vitally important in today's economy. Like you said, gone are the days where people worked 40 years and retired with a pension. Like a flower, if you cultivate your network, tend to it and treat it with care, you will reap spectacular rewards. Great advice. Erin Dawn,

This is a great post on so many levels.

Yes, having a network is vitally important in today’s economy. Like you said, gone are the days where people worked 40 years and retired with a pension.

Great advice.
