I appreciate your advice “Make saying “no” easy.” I recently started learning how to network and practicing. I am anxious and afraid to appear slimy reaching out to people. A manager at a company I met at a networking event recently replied to my Linkedin message with a “no because you already applied” when I asked for an introduction to someone about a job I applied. I felt so discouraged. I have so much more to learn.
Awesome, congratulations for the start of your networking journey!
Even though it can be really disheartening, remember that failure is an inevitable part of the journey. Remember the Edison quote: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
