1.   Build a Network

Gone are the days where networking involved solely going to business fairs and passing by businesses stalls. Globalization and technical advances in the infrastructure and engineering industry have made it easier than ever to reach hundreds of professionals from anywhere in the world. 

With this industry being competitive, a potential job could come down to WHO you know and not solely WHAT you know. Building relationships with like-minded professionals in your industry could be the differentiator between you and other candidates. 

Reach out to people in your field, former co-workers, friends, family, and acquaintances, when you're looking for a new job. Follow influencers in your industry, get involved in online conversions, let your opinion be heard. 

It could be beneficial to contact one of our consultants and they can point you in the right direction for global and local peer groups, as well as the right LinkedIn groups specific to the sector you work in.
