Did you know 85% of jobs are filled through networking?
That’s a mind-blowing statistic. 85% of job seekers are hired because they know someone at the company. Often, these relationships begin at networking events and online communities.
That’s why events like the 2022 Citywide Job Fair presented by the Chicago Urban League are an amazing opportunity. #chijobfair22

Simply go to a Jobcaser’s profile and press “Connect” to send a request. And here are some tips about how to network with people you don’t know.
