2. Social capital is the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively. The end result of these relationships may provide meaningful information, fresh ideas and opportunities for the future. There are various ways a digital citizen can enhance its social capital. One is by networking proactively. Networking proactively provides an advantage by supporting you with a powerful collection of people who are willing and are able to speak for you on an ongoing basis. Being strategic is another. Strategic networking is more than socializing and swapping business cards, it’s about creating solid relationships to support your career aspirations. Create a diverse network. In order to network effectively, you need to move out of your comfort zone and identify people who can help your career, not just those people you like. Set a dedicated time each week to network. Keep in touch with former colleagues and alums. While it’s important to build a network of contacts, it’s equally important to nurture the relationships you have (Investopedia, 2019).
