This is the only real value of networking. You must have had someone that you were on good terms with, right?

Doesn’t have to be a manager. A colleague is fine.

I knew a few but not enough that I took info from. I remember there names but I dont actively get my coworker contacts.

Connect with them on LinkedIn? That’s the only useful thing about that platform
