There\u2019s a million people trying to fit through a small opening, that\u2019s how it is. If you still want to try and fit through that small opening be my guest, I don\u2019t think you shouldn\u2019t try, but beware the odds.<\/p>\n

The nature of networking isn’t to send cold call messages\u00a0on Linkedin or Facebook but to actually work with people. You will be surprised where they end up in 5 years or 10 years and knowing them earlier\u00a0might later pay unexpected dividends.<\/p>\n

Keep your job and try to play in all those cities on weekends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
