Key takeaways:

Networking can feel uncomfortable or intimidating - most people worry about being judged or rejected. But it’s one of the most powerful tools for finding new roles, exploring opportunities, and growing your career.

Think of networking as a conversation, not a sales pitch - it’s about learning, sharing, and connecting. Start with people you already know - contacts in your phone, email, or LinkedIn - it’s easier and more natural.

Research the industries, roles, or companies you’re interested in, so your conversations feel purposeful and confident.

You don’t have to reach out to everyone at once - start small, start familiar, and build slowly.
