What Are Benefits of Networking?

Imagine that you had a magic networking wand (I know the magic cash wand is better but humor me). With one wave of this wand you could become a master at networking. What would this mean to your life? How would your life be different?
If you were bored you could wave your wand and your phone would instantly ring with offers to attend countless events from parties to golf tournaments and everything in between.
If you needed a date you could wave your wand and your phone would ring offers to play matchmaker on your behalf. If you had an interest in a particular you could ask your network for an introduction and someone would be able to give it to you.
If you were losing your job could use your wand to get nearly unlimited job offers. Your phone would ring off of the hook with friends and acquaintances recommending you’re for internal positions that would never appear on monster.com or hotjobs.com.
While you don’t have a magic wand you do have the ability to work on improving your networking skills. Networking is a skill like learning to drive a car, and can be learned and mastered with practice and persistence.
