    “Most people hate networking.”

    Pay It Forward

    It doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Our philosophy is to Pay It Forward, with kindness. Too often, we only reach out when we’re looking for a job and it just feels transactional. Make networking part of your job search.

    The best networkers are introverts. Every little counts. LinkedIn zero, helping strangers with travel tips, coffee chats, whatsapp intros, building community.
