"why doesn't this person have work through their professional network?"
Where I am from this is called nepotism and is frowned upon. Also a sign of a flawed job market.
- the_real_cher 2y agoThats a psyop people use to put the blame for a crappy job market on the employee. "start your own business" "your network is your net worth" if these are your two options then the job market for that skill is really bad
- cafard 2y agoFinding work though a "family network" would be nepotism. Finding work through a professional network is entirely another matter. If the professional network consists of golfing buddies, no, that would not be a good thing. If it consists of peers one knows through prior work, conferences, etc., I see no reason for anyone to complain.
- fenomas 2y agoGP is talking about getting jobs via professional colleagues that know you're good at what you do. Nepotism is the opposite of that - getting a job from connections that aren't work-related.
