            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.

            anyone who says ‘networking’ is a charlatan imo. at least try to word it like a human being while giving advice

              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 in KILOMETERS.

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