How to network if you’re scared of people
summary
Moved to San Francisco after grad school, gets two jobs from networking and attends meetups up to five times a week; cites a claim that about 80% of jobs come through networking and recommends practical tactics: use Meetup, LinkedIn, Slack and apps like Guild, set a clear goal of three contacts per event, favor morning coffee meetups, customize LinkedIn invites, follow up up to three times, and volunteer or speak to build trust. Warns that flaky behavior (constant rescheduling) can permanently burn introductions.
