If you want to know “How do I network now?” I'm going to myth-bust this idea of needing a “local network,” cool?
First off, needing to have a “local” network is a big fat myth. Due to the wonders of the internet, ALL networks are local networks!

A thing everyone should take advantage of. Here’s how career coaching works. If you want to be a coach or get career coaching, here are the basics.
