Advice for Employers and Recruiters
The Power of Networking…
Do you ever wonder how “slackers” oftentimes very successfully make it through life? Why are excellent grades and a stellor performance sometimes not enough or less valuable then one would think?
Well–the development of a solid network can prove to be all the hard work you will ever need to do.
Consider this…
Harvard Business School does not disclose individual grades achieved by students. Also, grades are awarded according to a number system–one receives a ‘1’ or a ‘2.’ I have a close friend who describes B-School as a nonstop party. Why? Because–this is the top school in the nation where one is bound to rub elbows with future leaders. Relationships cultivated at B-School will lead to more opportunities for success than the actual classroom experience and this is clearly confirmed by the grading policies.
Don’t underestimate the power of networking.
