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.

Cold Email Template That Works:

“Hi [Name],
I loved your article on [topic]. I’m exploring [related interest] and would love your advice.
Could we chat for 15 minutes?
Thanks, [Your Name]”
