People You Need To Have In Your Professional Network according to Forbes

FROM FORBES.COM

In a career planning workshop for senior executives, all of whom were gainfully employed and not actively looking for a job, I still emphasized the importance of recruiter relationships. Recruiters offer a critical window into the market. Even when you’re not looking, you want to understand the level of interest in what you do (what is your marketability?), the compensation for your role (what is your market value?) and the typical scope of responsibility, budget and/or size of team that accompany your level (are you progressing at, above or below your peers?). Recruiters are just one type of contact you should know. Here are nine more people you need to have in your professional network:

1. MARKET EXPERT
2. HR
3. GUARDIAN ANGEL
4. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
5. SHEPHERD
6. CHANGE AGENT
7. CHEERLEADER
8. TRUTH TELLER
9. CONNECTOR
