NETWORKING THE WAY OF THE 21ST CENTURY


In today’s changing world, where technology has become the key, networking has become an essential component in any career. Whether you are looking for a job, or simply wanting to make connections with those in the same or similar fields of work. Networking has become a successful element.

In the past, networking may have involved luncheons, dinner meetings or even office gatherings. Where everyone in the field met, handed out business cards and shared stories. However in our new world of today, networking has become a cyberspace based forum with a greater number of contacts readily available. Through online networking, you are able to make contacts and connections, with individuals in your field from all across the world. You are no longer limited to your city or areas surrounding you, when making connections.

Networking has taken many new forms in today’s world. No longer is it just for business. Social networks and friend networks have come into play. Connecting people all over the world and making the world a more connected place. People on opposite sides of the world are able to connect, making our world a much closer nit place, then days past.

Networking has completely changed the way our world once worked. Now through simple online networking, people are able to gain access to absolutely anything they want. Anything of interest can now be found, by typing a few simple words into a search bar. Most of those searches, leading to some kind of social or business network or forum.

Networking has allowed people from all over to connect and meet, who otherwise likely never would have been given a chance. It has brought people in business, friends and even family members together socially and professionally. It has brought families back together and has even reconnected people with long lost relatives.

The networking of today is much different from the networking of the past and in my opinion a much more successful way, of making connections across the world. Business relationships have become stronger and people are given new ideas from others in their field of work, to help better themselves in their own careers and bring new ideas into business.
