It also raises the question about the equality of chances when applying for a new position. Should someone chances diminish just because he did not engage in a successful networking campaign?

Should one make a decision of recruitment based solely on the professional and academic credentials to minimize the impact of such a scenario?
This also brings about the discussion on whether non-traditional formats tend to keep out women and minorities.

Networking Who you know is far more important than the job search process. Networking "levels out the hierarchy" that connects employers to employees (Chernow, 2003). Networking is a means of communication whereby a CEO might be separated from the clerk. It is a complex process that involves establishing and then building upon relationships. In a society filled with look alike candidates, where hundreds of people present themselves to employers with

Historically, museums have evolved as collaborative projects to house collected works gathered for the appreciation of the current and future generations in our society.
