16. Mark Granovetter's paper "The Strength of Weak Ties" is a
highly influential sociology paper, with over 22,000 citations
according to Google Scholar. He discovered that the foot-in-
the-door at the company where you want to work isn't going to
come from your best friends or family--your strong ties. That
job lead is going to come from weak ties (e.g classmates,
employers, acquaintances and teachers who never became
close friends) as they’re the individuals who have information
and opportunities you don’t currently have. If you already had
access to the opportunity why wouldn’t you have taken it
already? Start being active on social media today!
