A networking strategy is also built on helping others while they help you. By showing others that you are interested in their field, and through building a relationship with them, you can create a great network. Show that you are persistent in getting to know someone, in following your goals, and being open to learning. A great way to show interest is by helping others before they help you. It is always important to listen. While you listen to others, see if there are ways for you to help them in the future.
