  LinkedIn and Indeed combo still work fine, but personal network is age old and never not the best choice.

    “personal networking” feels a lot like just saying “go fish in a bathtub”

      It means “be rich”.

      People who have to work 40 hours a week, plus do their own cooking and cleaning, plus all their own errands, plus taking care of the kids or pets, don’t have time to network.

      There’s a reason politics is filled with rich lawyers and finance people, and it because they have the luxury of networking.

        No, networking means maintaining healthy relationships with your peers, friends, and coworkers from all your previous jobs and telling people you’re looking for one.

        I agree, I put in the shoes of HR and Management, I CAN FEEL YOUR DESPERATION, you are acting like an attention whore and this smells KILOMETERS.

      Depends on how big your bathtub is. But really. Knowing people in your field is always helpful.

        It’s basically useless when you’ve tried your network and it’s all dead ends. This advice is basically the “don’t be ugly” of the employment world.

  CV library gets me some calls from recruiters, be prepared for spam/WhatsApp scams though
