Being able to develop professional relationships is a valuable job search tool. Developing such relationships requires networking skills, which are critical to career success in today's legal market. The reality is that approximately 80% of all available positions are not advertised, and the few that are advertised, are not necessarily the best positions. Therefore, to reach this "hidden job market", you must embark on a continuous process of networking - seeking information and making contacts. Through networking, you can be one of the people who "make things happen".
