How to boost your professional network in your day-to-day routine

The fact that Italians are very welcoming by nature implies that networking can mostly be done anywhere, even in places where you least expect it. Clearly, one of the best places which can contribute to expanding your network is your current workplace. However, any new encounter can positively impact your career, regardless of the position you find yourself in. Just keep in mind that things will eventually fall into place if you put in the right work. Avoid rushing people as well as rushing yourself if you would like someone to back up your job application or in case you meet a strategic person who may be of precious help in your job-seeking process.

Seeking a friend's help may equally be a strategic move as friends can recommend, advise you and share your resume to the relevant people in their own network.
