The Problem

Why generic connection requests get declined

These are the 4 most common networking mistakes we see in students — and all of them are fixable.

🤝

Cold outreach fear

Reaching out to strangers feels awkward. Learn our low-stakes scripting framework that gets high response rates.

📩

Unfocused messaging

Saying 'please give me a job' gets ignored. Learn how to ask for advice or a 10-minute chat instead.

📈

No follow-up strategy

Connections fade if not nurtured. Learn the sequence that turns a connection into a professional advocate.

✍️

Generic requests

Standard LinkedIn invites are ignored. Learn how to write customized 300-character invite notes.

FAQ

Common questions

Why do networking-based applications convert better than cold boards?
Over 80% of roles are filled through warm referrals. Networking bypasses the initial ATS resume filter completely.
How do I find college alumni working at my target companies?
We walk through LinkedIn's alumni search tool, showing you how to filter by graduation year, location, and company.
What is the exact script to send to an alumnus for a chat?
Keep it short, highlight the shared college connection, and ask for advice on their career journey. We share copyable templates.
How do I ask for a job referral politely on LinkedIn?
Ask for a quick chat to learn about the company culture first, then mention you applied for a role and ask if they can share advice.
How can AI help me research a contact before reaching out?
We show you how to feed their public posts or articles into AI to suggest relevant, customized conversation starters.
How do I stay in touch with my professional network long-term?
Share articles, update them on your project progress, or congratulate them on promotions. We share a simple monthly check-in cadence.
