• Employers prefer to hire people they know within their personal and professional networks
• You can gain first-hand, current information about the world of work to help develop your job-search strategy
• It’s the chance to connect to experts who have knowledge of industry trends and opportunities in your field
• And to meet interesting, like-minded people who may end up being your future supervisors or colleagues
