- seneca 2y agoWhat a weird point to make. Their comment says nothing about their background. It only mentions their achievements.
- NoGravitas 2y agoAnd that their achievements, per se, were getting them nowhere.
- persnickety 2y agoThat's an uncharitable read. Connections can be made, not only received. Networking is different kind of work than sitting at a desk, but it's still work. The benefits of that work are seen next time you want a job. Every freelancer operates this way, for example.
- hn_version_0023 2y agoTell me you don’t know how to network without explicitly saying it?
- endtime 2y agoSpecifically, I asked a former colleague at Google to to ask one of his connections at the prospective employer to ping HR. Sounds like you thought I was asking my dad's friend to help me or something...?
