Networking Question- why do you ask to talk to other people?
Hey guys,
I'm beginning my networking efforts to recruit for consulting, and when I hear other people talk about networking, I hear that people often ask the person they are talking to if there is anyone else they can talk to after they are done with the conversation... I don't get why people do that.
I'm directly reaching out to alumni that are business analysts/consultants at the firm I want to work at. So can't they themselves just send my resume to HR? Like what's the point of connecting with other people and talking to more people when that person that I initially cold reached out to can refer my resume for me? Like I had a good conversation with someone, and he said let me know if you want me to connect you with someone else. But like... why??
