The biggest career tip I gave just the other day to a friend of mine is building relationships,  building cross functional relationships inside of the organization you work in right now. If you want to be successful in your organization and rise up the ladder. Build relationship across all the different other departments and business units, so that when you apply to something, Internally, people know you, people understand who you are and have a relationship to you.
As more relationships you build, as better it is for your career. And that's very, very easy. It just requires you to get connected to other people and ask them questions. Hey, who are you? What are you doing? And find out how you can help them. If you find out how you can help them in a very simple way and help them to be more successful, they always be connected to you.
Building relationship is one of the biggest career drivers for everyone out there.
