James has it right-everyone seems to be focusing on te resume.
This is how it works-A letter is written or a phone call made.
The person receiving the request WANTS to help because he/she is a brother or sister and KNOWS that he can trust YOU. From that point another phone call or letter is written and because the third party trusts THEM a connection is made. This type of referal
goes on ALL THE TIME. It happened last night. From ONE contact, I was put in touch with a person who's MOTHER was a DG (my daughter) and who's GRANDKIDS were AXO (me).
Now, don't you think this person might put in a good word for someone with these connections?Well, they did. This was the second line of contact. Two more followed. In the end, it all boils down to the individual, but it does place a little star by the name so the person or people you want to meet can take a closer look.
I honestly don't have any real opinion about mentioning it on a resume. Good points on each side of the issue. I DO believe the network is a fantastic opportunity to be put in contact with the right people, the ones who can really help.
