In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor estimates that 48 percent of all job opportunities are made through personal networking. So the real question for job seekers is how to take advantage of this phenomenon.
Positioning yourself to take the advantage of the benefits of networking is not that difficult. It only requires participation in social and business events, particularly those that relate to your professional objectives.

You know you should do it, other people do it all the time. Maybe you’ve already done it but it wasn’t very satisfying, and you’d like to learn to do it better.
I’m talking, of course, about having a business lunch.
Don’t feel embarrassed if you are uncomfortable with the idea of sitting over a grilled chicken breast, talking to a prospective client.

B. the client does not have to pay

[单项选择]Do you know something about tree rings Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago
We can see the change of weather by studying the tree rings.
For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count (数) the rings of a tree from outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we are sure that it was sunny most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the weather that year was bad.
