That's a great perspective! But, probably reality calls for a different perception -- at least I feel so; We depend on recommenders, and they feel they can get another employee.
So, networking may not be the only driving factor here.
Thanks

Networking is indeed important. Right from the day you decide to pursue MBA your application is started. You have to start networking in a way it is not limited to just the JOB.
In my case my networking has been great so far. I make limited but long lasting relationships. I m sure they will write the best LOR as per their ability.
This is the trust that can only be gained through networking and PR building.
I have recently switched so there is no point asking from them because of two reasons:
1. I did not have enough time for PR.
2. I can sense the mentality that will surely block my future rewards if I do not get through.
So selection of the right recommender is as important as selecting the right school.
