why your connections matter #careeradvice #techjobs #techcareer #networkingtips
In this brief monologue, the speaker explains how a free speaking engagement at a junior coding bootcamp six years ago sparked a chain of connections that ultimately led to a job at the tech company Torque. A participant from that talk later joined the speaker’s future boss’s team, and years later the boss introduced the speaker to the role through a back‑door referral. The anecdote illustrates the speaker’s belief that early‑stage networking—especially offering value without immediate compensation—creates long‑term visibility and can open unexpected career doors.
