The advice, it seems, is usually incomplete.
Every other Bob and Barbara knows that the networking game plays a major role when it comes to professions or career advancement.

Depending on why you are choosing, or have chosen, to switch careers you may be facing a variety of emotions — but it’s a safe bet that they will include both exhilaration and trepidation.
Finding your feet in a new field can take time.
