How I started again…​

​How do you build a network from zero?​

💬 Trust​

💬 Value​

💬 Showing up​

 

Why this matters (what really gets you hired)

Where your next opportunity will really come from​

​Your next role will likely come from:​

✅ A past colleague​

✅ A former client​

✅ A recruiter who rated you​

✅ Someone who’s seen you in action

The golden rules of building a powerful network​

So how do you build a network that actually works?​

✅ Stay in touch - especially when you don’t need anything​

✅ Be the kind of person you’d want in your corner​

✅ Pay it forward - make intros, share jobs, lend a hand

Want to be in the top 1%?​

​Most people don’t do this.​

Those who do? They stand out.

So, if you’re thinking about your next move…​

​Don’t just polish your CV.​
