No but it's the most likely the best bet to getting a job for the majority of people out there when all other things are equal ... 95% of the time, the managers and the HR team will say that your credentials are more important than the network you've bulit up so a social life is hardly an investment for getting jobs ... You DON'T want friends from college if you want to get a job but you do however WANT friends from a potential workplace if you want to get a job ... |
You do realise that friends from college become friends from potential workplaces? Most grads/interns get jobs because they are recommened by their past friends from college. In fact I will go a step further and say NO ONE in the organisations I have workd as got into a company without someone recommending them. All without connections got dismissed early.
ONly other way to get a job is to litrally get your family connections (assuming they have any and been working for many years and are respected) to give you one.
