So how does one break out of this catch-22?
How do you become a successful professional if you're never given the opportunity to earn trust where it is also visible enough to develop a strong network?
- ghaff 9y agoBasically you start with people you interact with naturally and move outward from there. Schoolmates, co-workers, ex-co-workers. Present at events if you can create an opportunity to do so. Blog. And so forth. It actually seems as if it's much easier today. At my first job in the tech industry, which I had for a long time, there were fewer opportunities to talk about what I was doing outside the company. (Although my next two jobs still came directly from people I met at that company.)
