It’s not what you know. It’s who you know. You’ve probably heard the saying countless times, uttered with a sneer of disgust. When it comes to moving your career forward, there are two schools of thought.

The first one believes that you can only get a promotion if you know the right people, meaning that you’re less likely have earned your new position by merit. The second school, however, reckons that everyone has the tools to create professional progress and land their dream position. Just by being themselves. Not by asking others to influence the decision.
