Hate Networking?

Hate networking?
Call it something else.
Maybe it feels slimy. 🤢
Maybe it feels salesy. 💰
Maybe it feels scary. 😨
Whatever it is, the idea of “networking” to find a job FREAKS YOU OUT. 😱
Ok, let’s not call it that, let’s call it something else… 🔄
Instead of “networking” - what if you called it… 🤔
Asking for help: “Would you be willing to help me with my job search?” 🙏
Asking for advice: “Can I ask for your advice about my job search?” 💡
Offering to help. “Are you looking for help with that?” 🤝
Curiosity about them. “How are you?” 😊
Brainstorming. “Would you help me think about my job search?” 🧠
Whatever you call it - what you want to do is strengthen your relationships. 🔗
Maybe those relationships will lead to a job and maybe they won’t. 🎯
Either way - there is no better use of your time during a job search. ⏳
