No one has said there is no value in networking.

There is also value in applying to jobs on linked, indeed, and handshake. Hence my son interviewed with 20 companies in the fall and had 5 offers by xmas his senior year. His intern company called on Feb but it was too late. While he went to the job fair, they did not interest him (those firms attending nor did he sign up for those who came to campus ). My daughter interned for the state last summer and a think tank this fall and had 7 offers in the DC area, 5 paid. This was all from indeed - think tanks, government relations, a humanitarian organization and the tourism bureau were the opportunities. She did apply to corporate government relations and had interviews but not offers.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but let’s not dismiss other items that clearly work. I get many PMs including a recent one where a student picked up a six figure job in California thanks to a changing trajectory of their search.

I wish everyone well. I truly don’t understand the constant criticism of varying ideas and methods.

Whatever works for each kid is great.
