Having Connections

Yesterday was the first day of school at Cal State Los Angeles, and the professor decided to have us answer the comment of the importance of having a sense of connection within the design community. Communication, I felt has always been important with connections in the design community but also in any type of career community. The more people that recognize your work and the type of person you are, the faster or better it is in getting your foot in the door. Not only that but more doors open to people that have connections, you hear about employees, and the opportunities offered. Another reason why I believe having connections is important is that their is so many careers out there, careers that you might not even have heard of, and having these connections open your eyes to what is out there.
