Published by John Molson Women in Leadership on
A recent study published by the LinkedIn Corporate Communications Team revealed that 70 percent of people in 2016 were hired at a company where they had a connection. The ability to network is a valuable tool that can help attract the best opportunities, which is vital for success.
