People who have to work 40 hours a week, plus do their own cooking and cleaning, plus all their own errands, plus taking care of the kids or pets, don’t have time to network.
There’s a reason politics is filled with rich lawyers and finance people, and it because they have the luxury of networking.
What should I be using then?
If you listen to the crowd on here, a guillotine on the ruling classes.

Well obviously, I meant beyond that
LinkedIn and Indeed combo still work fine, but personal network is age old and never not the best choice.
“personal networking” feels a lot like just saying “go fish in a bathtub”
anyone who says ‘networking’ is a charlatan imo. at least try to word it like a human being while giving advice

Depends on how big your bathtub is. But really. Knowing people in your field is always helpful.
It’s basically useless when you’ve tried your network and it’s all dead ends. This advice feels like the “don’t be ugly” of the employment world.
