Before Alan launched Kadima Careers, he interviewed at hundreds of companies, received dozens of offers, worked at 21 companies, and held 29 jobs. Of the 29 jobs he held, 24 of them came through referrals. And while some of those relationships were due to nepotism or my existing network, the vast majority of those referrals were due to him proactively finding the right people that would be open to giving me advice and referring me for opportunities. 

This process, AKA, networking, is a skill that many people do not naturally have and then struggle with developing on their own.  In fact, learning how to network is one of the cornerstones of kCAP (Kadima Career Acceleration Program), my premium coaching program that focuses on getting my clients more money.

Still skeptical that networking can lead to long-term career success? In this episode of the SYCK podcast, Steve Dalton, best-selling author of The 2-hour Job Search, joins me to discuss the science of networking and how to use it successfully to get the job you want.
