Hate Networking?

Hate networking?
Call it something else.
Maybe it feels slimy. π€’
Maybe it feels salesy. π°
Maybe it feels scary. π¨
Whatever it is, the idea of “networking” to find a job FREAKS YOU OUT. π±
Ok, let’s not call it that, let’s call it something else… π
Instead of “networking” - what if you called it… π€
Asking for help: “Would you be willing to help me with my job search?” π
Asking for advice: “Can I ask for your advice about my job search?” π‘
Offering to help. “Are you looking for help with that?” π€
Curiosity about them. “How are you?” π
Brainstorming. “Would you help me think about my job search?” π§
Whatever you call it - what you want to do is strengthen your relationships. π
Maybe those relationships will lead to a job and maybe they won’t. π―
Either way - there is no better use of your time during a job search. β³
