Achilles' heal is a metaphor for a fatal weakness in spite of overall strength.
The importance of having a good network can be best described when a graduate student from a reputed B school comes back to his home country in search of a job owing to the challenging global economic uncertainty with the pressure of repaying an education loan. By networking, i don't mean knowing friends/colleagues his age or +/- 5 years in the industry, but knowing decision makers. Finding a job that matches your profile, interest, skills, and package is a daunting task. I would like to call the lack of networking as Achilles' heal.
