80% of Jobs Come from Networking — So Why Aren’t You Investing in It?
You’re applying online. You’ve updated your resume. You’re checking job boards every day. But what if the job you want is never even posted? According to LinkedIn, up to 85% of jobs are filled through networking, not applications. That means if you’re skipping warm introductions, referrals, and industry connections, you’re missing out on most of the real opportunities. At Access Academy, we teach you how to network with purpose.
You’re applying online. You’ve updated your resume. You’re checking job boards every day. But what if the job you want is never even posted?
According to LinkedIn, up to 85% of jobs are filled through networking — not applications. That means if you’re skipping warm introductions, referrals, and industry connections, you’re missing out on most of the real opportunities.
At Access Academy, we teach you how to network with purpose — even if you’re not “naturally good” at it.
The Referral Advantage
Let’s break down the numbers:
Up to 70% of people land jobs through their network (Forbes)
Referrals are 4x more likely to get hired than someone who applies cold (Jobvite)
Referred candidates are hired faster, stay longer, and are paid more (Glassdoor)
Networking isn’t about being “well connected.” It’s about being intentional and visible.
What Networking Actually Looks Like Today
Modern networking isn’t handing out business cards at stuffy events. It’s:
Reaching out to former colleagues on LinkedIn
Asking a friend to introduce you to someone at a company you admire
Attending online industry meetups
Following up after a coffee chat
Commenting thoughtfully on someone’s post to build rapport
The truth is: people hire people they know, like, and trust. So genuine connections and showing up in those spaces matters more than you think.
How Access Academy Helps You Build a Networking System That Works
Inside the Networking Module, we teach you:
What to say in a cold or warm outreach (templates included)
How to follow up without feeling awkward
How to analyze who is in your orbit to grow your network
The art of connecting and how to build lasting professional connections
It’s not about “networking to get something.” It’s about building real relationships — and positioning yourself as someone others want to recommend.
Final Thought
You don’t need a huge network to get hired. You just need a few right connections — and the confidence to reach out.
