Networking > Job Applications (Here’s Why):
Over 70% of jobs are filled through networking. Yet, most people network wrong.
How to Build a Powerful Network:
✔ Give Before You Ask: Share insights, make introductions, and offer help first.
✔ Leverage LinkedIn & Twitter: Engage with industry leaders (thoughtful comments >
generic DMs).
✔ Attend Events Strategically: Skip crowded conferences—opt for niche meetups or
virtual roundtables.

Could we chat for 15 minutes?
Thanks, [Your Name]”
