Resume VS Networking

Resume VS Networking.

Which one is more important?

Picture this: three highly successful and talented individuals I worked with, all sharing a common belief.

They didn’t see their resumes as the golden ticket to their next gig; instead, they understood the power of networking.

In my latest Zoom sessions with them, it became crystal clear that what sets them apart was their reliance on networks for job opportunities.

And guess what? This aligns with how a whopping 80% of jobs are filled—through networking and referrals.

It’s not about mindlessly sending resumes into the void of job boards.

I was so pumped about this topic that, during a break in scripting this video, I hopped onto LinkedIn.

Lo and behold, there’s a Goldman Sachs CEO, David Solomon, preaching the importance of networking. (You can catch that video in the notes below this video.)

Whether you’re in career transition or happily employed, don’t neglect your network.

When it becomes the resume vs networking, then networking always wins.

It’s the game-changer.
