How do you approach networking? I have zero connections. Last ten jobs I found by myself. And nepotism is big in my country. One of my peers sat home for months till his wife found him a job, another upper management hired his son where I work now, my CEO hired his best friend as a vice-president who now does nothing in particular for my department (even though heâs appointed to be the head of it) and we have to do everything ourself.
Iâve been thinking about cultivating interpersonal semi-friendly relationships with colleagues except I canât stand them all. Like when they invite me to corporate bonding events and dinners I know that it would be such a drag, I always refuse.
Iâve also been planning to frequent some national and regional events for my field. The problem is Iâm very socially awkward and canât do small talk for the life of me; Idk how to approach networking â just give away business cards or smth? What would people gain from associating with me â Iâm not in a powerful position and Iâm not even pretty and donât have any connections or very rare skills they would benefit of.
Networking has nothing to do with experience or professionalism, if you live in a nepotism dominated sistem the value you need to give is of trust, ppl hire ppl they trust more than the appropriate person because they trust you'll learn or they trust you won't fuck them over, start with coworkers till you better your social skills (watch YouTube tutorials and instead of taking it to heart just build a character and act it out during events)
