A short single-speaker YouTube monologue (Ben Chaib) arguing that professional networks create job opportunities faster than submitting resumes. The speaker claims hiring and job flow are driven by connections ("Network opens doors faster than a resume ever can"), cites Reid Hoffman/LinkedIn as embodiment of this idea, and advises building relationships before they are needed.

Network opens doors faster than a resume ever can. Opportunities flow through relationships. When you look in your job market, you look at your employees or you look at people that get jobs. It's all through the network. Very rarely is submitting a resume going to get you there. Reid Hoffman built LinkedIn on this exact truth. Careers are built through connections, so build your network before you actually need it.
