How to Network in the Digital Age

Whattup, job seekers! Do you send out dozens of online job applications and hear crickets? You aren’t alone. The way we get jobs isn’t what it was in our parents’ days, for better or worse.
They pounded the pavement. We refresh LinkedIn eleven times an hour.
Now that so many jobs are remote, you’re not just competing with applicants in your area. You’re competing with applicants all around the world. How do you stand out? We gotta talk about networking.

We could spout out a bunch of statistics about how most jobs are filled because of a personal connection, not your skill set, but we all know this already. The real question is, what does networking look like in the remote world?
Here’s what you gotta do:
Get involved in online communities. Head to Reddit, Discord, and Slack groups to find people in your industry, and start engaging. Show up consistently and make genuine connections; you could meet your next work bestie!
Actually engage on LinkedIn. So you made a LinkedIn profile—good job! Now you have to actually use it. Connect with friends, former colleagues, and people in your industry that you want to get to know. Engage with their content and post your own. If you start messaging with someone, don’t send a copied and pasted template message; be real.
Go to virtual events. There are more workshops, webinars, and virtual summits than ever these days, and tons of them are free. Find a few in your industry to add to your calendar. You never know who you could end up in a breakout room with!
Put yourself out there, digitally. You can’t go to an in-person networking event, hide in a corner, and expect a job to be handed to you. The same thing goes in the digital world. If you want people to know who you are, you need to make the first move. Post a blog, share your thoughts on Threads, or start a Substack. Just remember to keep it professional—the Internet is forever.

It’s all about who you know, and you don’t have to lose out on networking opportunities just because you’re applying for a remote job. Get creative, put yourself out there, and go meet some people.
If your networking game is tight and you’re ready to apply for new jobs, scroll down for the latest and greatest Impact Jobs.
