Networking and continued education are essential elements of effective career and self-development. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, career and self-development are “proactively developing oneself and one’s career through continual personal and professional learning, awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses, navigation of career opportunities, and networking to build relationships within and without one’s organization.”
Developing a professional network that supports and impacts your progress toward your career goals is essential to any job search. Another critical element to this management of your career is developing new skills and abilities while also expanding expertise in other areas. There are many ways to engage in these two practices, but one is to become a professional association or organization member within your industry.
