If you’ve ever sent out dozens of job applications only to hear crickets, you’re not alone. The harsh reality is that 85% of jobs are filled through referrals—not cold applications. That means if you’re relying solely on the "Apply" button, you’re missing out on massive opportunities. In this episode, I sit down with Amy Miller—a recruiting powerhouse with experience at Microsoft, Google, and Amazon—to break down exactly how to network the right way.

Amy doesn’t just give generic advice—she shares real, actionable strategies to help you stand out before you even submit an application. We cover the scripts that get responses, how to make a lasting impression, and the biggest networking mistakes people make (and how to avoid them). Whether you’re job hunting now or just thinking ahead, this episode is your blueprint for building career-changing connections.

No fluff, no BS—just practical steps you can take today to grow your network and open doors to new opportunities. If you’re tired of being ignored by recruiters, this is the conversation you need to hear. Tune in now and start networking like a pro!
