Social capital is a complex area of study and research within sociology, so is the understanding of social capital and its function. Understanding its function, or the benefit that can be achieved through it, depends on the context and perspective from which it is observed. This paper focused on the research of social capital in the form of acquaintances and networks that former students created during their studies and the benefit they achieved with the created social capital after completing their studies. The process of finding a job after completing your studies, emphasizing that the job is within the field of expertise, is an interesting process that requires certain skills. The research was based on qualitative methodology, therefore the interviewees' subjective experience of their social capital and their understanding of the importance of networks and acquaintances made during studies and within the field of profession were studied. Collected research data obtained by conducting 10 semi-structured interviews with interlocutors, graduate students of social studies who work within the field of the completed profession, were analyzed by thematic analysis. The thematic analysis resulted in a total of 5 thematic categories within which the codes were developed and the research results were interpreted. The conclusion of the analysis of the research results is based on the assumption of the importance of social capital as a facilitating factor that provides numerous benefits and provides opportunities for the development of the overall capital of both the individual and the group in which the individual is networked.
