Is job-hunting success about WHO you know, or WHAT you know?

I believe that job-hunting success comes from both WHAT you know and WHO you know. Depending on the job, knowing the right people can be all that you need to get the job. On the other hand, with some jobs no matter who you know you have to have a certain amount of knowledge or experience to get the job.

If it is WHAT you need to know to get a job, there are hundreds of places to get that knowledge and experience. (High school, college, work experience, service...etc)

If is WHO you need to know to get a job, you should start networking now. Networking is the key to finding a good job. Start figuring out how to know the "right people" that can "hook you up."
