I used to think networking was just awkward small talk until a recruiter gave me a real tip
Honestly, I was stuck trying to move from my customer service job into a marketing role for like 8 months. A recruiter I met at a Denver meetup told me to stop asking for jobs and start asking for one specific piece of advice instead. So, I began reaching out to people on LinkedIn and asking, 'What's one skill you wish you'd learned sooner in this field?' Ngl, that one question got me way more replies and three actual coffee chats. Has anyone else tried a different question that really worked?

Asking about a specific project they're proud of works well too. It gets them talking about real work instead of just giving generic advice.

Yeah that's a solid tip. What kind of project usually gets the best stories out of people?
