Emotional intelligence and networking

The way we search for jobs has changed over the last few years. According to research, 85% of jobs are filled through networking, not through looking for postings and applying directly.

Networking is not easy to do, especially for those who are naturally more introverted. It requires you to put yourself out there. With the right strategy, time, effort, and patience it can result in obtaining the job you want. Using your emotional intelligence can help you to network effectively.
