LinkedIn Data Highlights Networking's Role in Indian Job Market Success
LinkedIn research shows Indian job seekers with inside connections are nearly 8.5 times more likely to be hired, highlighting the importance of networking for Gen Z professionals. However, many avoid networking or only reach out when urgently seeking jobs, which experts say is a common mistake. Career coaches recommend building and maintaining professional relationships proactively rather than only during job searches to improve hiring chances in a competitive market.
