Networking becomes more important in the Age of AI. AI is going to hit hard skills as those are what the AI does best, as such soft skills such as relationship management will become more important. To build your network you need to look at what you can offer your network not just what you receive. The easist way I have found is volunteering for organizations that have the types of people you want to network with.
How do you network with people without coming off like you’re only doing it for career opportunities? While this is what networking is about at the core, it’s just feels awkward to connect with someone you don’t know well to have them help you.
How would you do that outside of your workplace? Networking is easier where you work since there’s common ground in sharing the workplace but that won’t help getting hired elsewhere unless someone you work with moves first and recommends you
Pro
I think networking will only increase in importance in the future. Particularly with AI, the phrase “It’s not what you know, but who you know” will ring even more true. People will be able to do more jobs they’re less knowledge-qualified because AI will fill in their gaps.
Pro
If you want to climb the corporate ladder fast, it’s 100% necessary (in my experience at least.)
I definitely think it is worth it. I have had several connections give me referrals even in the past year that got me further than I would have gotten without a referral. I do think building your network is still important.
