The majority of open positions are never posted on job boards, but rather, are filled in-house or through networking. Having a well-developed network opens up jobs for you, but it also provides you with an instant connection to companies you are interested in. Your network can also provide references for you if you’ve worked together in any way.  On this bonus episode of Find Your Dream Job, Melissa Erickson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-erickson-86438937/) and I discuss how she overcame her shyness to become a skilled networker. Melissa also shares how she practiced for interviews. Learn more about Melissa’s career history below in this installment of our Success Stories series.
