Ever felt like your dream job is just out of reach, despite your talents? Aladdin365 recognizes the strength of networks, yet, not everyone has the necessary access to land the job they want. Networking can open doors for better jobs, career growth, and greater economic opportunity. Additionally, expanding your network to include people from diverse backgrounds leads to enhanced opportunities for career development.
Yet, networking also includes some harsh realities. For example, two people with equal talent may not get the same opportunities because of a network gap. Let’s explore what a network gap is and how Aladdin365 can help close it.
What is a Network Gap?
The network gap means some people have more advantages because of who they know. What makes this happen are things like where you grew up, what education you have, and where you work. These factors can offer up to a 12-fold advantage in getting opportunities through the network.
This network gap shows that career opportunities are readily available for some individuals. Meanwhile, others may lag behind due to factors beyond their control. Supporting this theory, LinkedIn’s research shows that 70% of professionals land a job at organizations where they know someone.
How does the network gap impact certain communities?
Certain communities may not know enough people in their desired industry due to their social and financial standing. They may acquire the knowledge and skills required to break into the industry, but due to their network gap, they may not get the opportunity.
Therefore, the network gap causes inequality and biases. Individuals who face it cannot solve it alone. Society’s leaders have to work to enact bold strategies. This is why Aladdin365 prioritizes equity. We ensure that our platform and its features do not enable social disparities like the network gap.
