No one can get ahead in life all by themselves. Everyone needs help from some other person at one time or another. The phrase, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know, ” holds true now more than ever. 生活中没有人可以单枪匹马收获成功。别人的帮助是你前进的阶梯。“重要的不是你的学识，而是你认识什么样的人，” 这句话更适合于当今社会。 The beautiful thing about networking is that it works both ways; it is a give-take relationship. If you help somebody, they will have no trouble repaying the favour. 社交网络最好的特点在于双向性，它是给予和获得的关系。如果你帮助他人，他们也会同样报答你。 If you have never networked before, networking can at first seem intimidating but over time you will soon be networking like a pro. 如果你还从来没有社交过，开始时可能会无从下手，但是用不了多久，你就会像行家一样游刃有余。 1. Get out there 走出去 If people have no idea who you are, then you will have an incredibly hard time building relationships. Many people are so focused on their workload that they forget to network. 如果人们不知道你是何许人也，建立社交网络将难于登天。许多人仅把精力放在工作上而忽略了交际。 You must get out there; actively seek out people to network with. Go to events in your field and start striking up conversations and handing people your business card. |
