Your Professional Network Has a Different Job At Every Career Stage

The people who help you succeed in your current role may not be the people who help you see what comes next.

Most people think about their professional network only when they need something: a new job, an introduction or advice after a layoff. By then, they may be relying on a network shaped by where they have been rather than where they might go next.

A networking strategy should evolve with the career it supports. During periods of stability, a professional network helps you see beyond your current environment. When the work begins to change or no longer fits, it expands your understanding of what could come next. As a new direction emerges, it helps translate your experience into the language of new opportunities.
