Go to a rich people church (Episcopalian) and chat up boomers at the coffee hour til you get a job
>>60961013>Falling for the network memeTo network you already need to be in the network. It's not a tool for goyim like you.
>>60961013what the fuck are you even trying to accomplish? if anything the way to make money is to cut literally everyone off. i'm serious. you're falling for the trap, the system wants retarded goyim grouped together.
Just rob a bank pussy

>that socially retarded weirdo sub5 manlet trying to "network"kek networking is women and handsome tall men, not for u dorks kek

>first time going to a networking event, spend entire Uber ride practicing my intro in my head>walk in, write name tag with shaky hand, looks like a toddler signed it>hover around a group until they notice me>someone asks what I do>brain goes blank, end up saying something super vague like “oh, I’m in business stuff”>they wait for me to elaborate, I don’t, they nod and keep talking, >move to another group, determined to do better>they’re discussing new projects>I listen too long, miss the moment to add something>finally try to jump in, end up interrupting someone mid-sentence>everyone pauses, I panic and say “sorry, you were saying”>they finish their point, conversation flows on without me. feel like background noise>try again with a solo guy at the bar>ask him about his work>he talks for a while, I nod too much, like bobblehead levels of nodding, >when he asks me back, I start explaining my rolehalfway through, realize I’m giving way too much detail>stumble to a stop, say “but yeah, that’s basically it”>he politely smiles, turns to order another drink>last attempt: recruiter asks what I’m hoping to get from the event>I say “just trying to meet people in the industry, honestly”>my voice cracks slightly on “industry”>she gives me a kind smile, says “that’s a good start”>event ends, everyone exchanging cards, laughing like old friends>I stand by the exit pretending to check my phone so I don’t look lost>only interaction I get is the janitor asking if I need the door held open>walk out with empty pockets, full of “networking experience”
>>60961013networking is just a meme made by boomers so they dont feel guilty giving jobs to their kids
>>60965830>entire Uber ride practicing my intro in my headLad, just explain it like you would to your mother. 1 line, max 2. Wait till people answer and go with that. Try eating magic mushrooms to get rid of that anxiety.
>>60961013You need to be part of the tribe to "network".
>>60965830you know sometimes I think I'm autistic or awkward and then I read posts like this and feel like a social butterfly
>>60965830There's no point to "networking" just to meet people and see where things go, you need to have a clear objective like "get a contact in X field at Y level" usually a manager or above because those are the ones that could actually get you a job or at least point you in that direction. And only attempt so if you have either progressed far enough in your career that your experience is at least somewhat impressive for them to actually care about bringing you into their organization. Aside from the obvious sperging, you sound like you're young and early career or at best you did a very poor job conveying any valuable or interesting experience, so nobody cared. You weren't seen as valuable at all. Try again in 5 years, unless you're unemployed rn in which case it's over.
>>60967421And it goes without saying that I'm talking about the honest kind of networking. Obviously most normalfags have no actual talent so they "network" instead, i.e. make "friends" and suck the cocks of the most powerful people they can find to try to latch onto.
>>60967401This kind of thread is the reason why I support UBI. The entire procedure is literally a humiliation ritual. Much better to give all your information in exchange for a digital ID and monthly payments from an AI government.
>>60961013>JOB FAIR LADYFirst, it was a hole, and holes HATE men, and actively go out of their way to fuck men overSecond, job fairs are bullshit>networking eventThese events are for network groups wanting to expand their networks, and for businessmen to find and/or expand their own networks, it's not for wagies>Why is making money and really just life so hard bros?It's not, just open a business or get a degree that automatically puts you in the high caste of your cuntry, otherwise deal with your life choices
