			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a long time we&#8217;ve been trained to the saying &#8220;It&#8217;s not <em>what</em> you know, it&#8217;s <em>who</em> you know.&#8221; Now to a certain extent, this holds true very much, but I think I have a different take on it now. I think in college, or before you started a career path (for those that didn&#8217;t go to college) it was definitely about who you know. College was a bunch of years of networking, whether that be at job fairs or parties. All of the above is networking.</p>
<p>So, you towards the end of college, you start thinking about jobs, and who you know, where, and how they could get you, at least help you get a job. That&#8217;s where the who comes in. Once you get in the door, the who goes out the door. Now you have to prove your worth.</p>
<p>If you actually got the job, then you&#8217;re more than likely qualified. But this is where relationships comes in. Now, I&#8217;m no business expert, and I don&#8217;t even have a business degree, but I <strong>love</strong> business and I&#8217;m very <a href="http://philly-style.com/2008/02/07/ambition/">ambitious</a>. I love watching those that are good at business. I take notes, I study people, I&#8217;m fairly good at reading people, I read, and I learn. And one of the main things that I&#8217;ve learned thus far is that <strong>it&#8217;s all about relationships</strong>. Not just getting along with others, because that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re supposed to do. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s taking it that one step further. It&#8217;s making that extra effort in getting to know people. It builds trust, and you can&#8217;t really get anywhere without trust. But it&#8217;s almost hard to explain how important relationships are. And not ass kissing either, because that&#8217;s easy point out, it needs to be genuine. Sharing stories, interests, talking sports, etc. </p>
<p>I completely forgot where else I was going with this post so I&#8217;ll just end it. Sorry.</p>
<p>Peace</p>
