I’m trying to put a lot more of an emphasis on networking lately and I’m seeing so many benefits. There are the obvious job search benefits, sure, but I also feel myself “coming out of my shell” a little bit again, which is really cool. I’m realizing recently that, over the years, I’ve tended to find my next role and then sort disappear into the shadows, whereas pre-COVID, I was really into networking and it was one of my favorite things about the industry. I guess I hadn’t realized that until now. Anyway, as you might’ve guessed, I’m #OpenToNetwork, so shoot me a DM if you want and have a great weekend!
#opentonetwork is where it’s at! Have chats and meet people without asking something from them on first contact.
I enjoyed catching up!

3wSame. I used to be the person who moved around the office chatting with people, but now it's hard to motivate myself to go ping people and chat. 2020 really mutated our ability to network and connect for sure.
