That's most of the reason for the first item: "don't ask for a job, or approach these conversations with the goal of getting a particular job." Many people, introverts included, would want to be approached by someone genuinely interested in their opinion about, "how to approach job search as a Jack-of-all-trades?" even by people they have little connection with.

But that's not the specific point I was trying to make since it relies a little more IMO already having stronger connections.)
