Networking That Actually Works
Most PM jobs are found through relationships, not job boards. Networking doesn't mean cold-pitching strangers for a job, it means building genuine connections that make people want to recommend you. This module shows you exactly where to find the right people, how to start meaningful conversations, and how to make sure they remember you for the right reasons. You'll leave with concrete tactics and message examples you can use immediately.
