What this is
Networking does not have to mean forced small talk or awkward requests. This course teaches a relationship-first approach that treats every connection as someone you might help and learn from over time. You will map the network you already have, set clear goals, and write outreach messages that are short, specific, and respectful. You will learn to prepare for and run informational conversations, handle events with more confidence, and follow up in ways people remember. Finally, you will set up a simple tracking system and a weekly rhythm that keeps relationships warm. How your network grows will depend on your field, circumstances, and consistent effort.
You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It does not promise a job offer, promotion or pay rise; outcomes depend on your field, your experience and the employers you approach.

- Map your existing network and identify high relevance contacts and connectors
