Job Search Myth #8: Networking is Slimy

If you’ve ever cringed at the idea of networking, you’re not alone.

But let’s bust this one right now.

Myth #8: Networking feels slimy.

👉 Truth: Networking is just authentic relationship-building.

It’s not about cold-pitching strangers or pretending to be someone you’re not.

It’s about showing up with:

• Curiosity (“How did you get into your role?”)

• Generosity (“Here’s a resource I think you’d love…”)

• Clarity (“Here’s what I’m exploring right now in my career.”)

When you shift your mindset from “selling yourself” to sharing your story and learning from others—it becomes natural.

You don’t need to fake it. You just need to connect.

Want help making that shift?
