- build internal relationships before you need them by genuinely connecting with people outside your immediate team
- post what you are learning publicly so a community forms around your progress and vouches for you later
- when messaging someone senior for networking, keep it short, specific, and ask for a clear small thing like advice on skills to build
- come to a networking call fully prepared with your own questions since you are asking for someone else's time
- use short personalized video in applications and thank you notes to stand out as a real person in a remote hiring process
