Networking at Events and Using LinkedIn to Find Your Next Job

If you’re job hunting right now, networking is just as important as applying for roles online. As the saying goes: It’s not what you know - it’s who you know. In this episode of Ella Podcasts, we break down how to network strategically, confidently, and authentically — whether you’re an introvert, mid-career professional, or navigating a competitive job market shaped by AI and ageism. From surviving awkward networking events to leveraging LinkedIn effectively, this conversation is packed with practical advice, honest opinions, and real-world strategies you can apply immediately. Joining me are: 🔹 Dr. Jonathan Marshall – Psychologist, former professor, Stanford & Harvard graduate 🔹 Chris J. Reed – Founder of Black Marketing & LinkedIn personal branding expert 🔹 Aya Clover – Host of HR & Beyond podcast, regional sales expert & experienced team leader Together, we explore: • Why networking increases your chances of landing a job • How introverts can thrive at networking events • The smartest way to use LinkedIn during your job search • Whether the “Open to Work” badge helps or hurts • How to follow up effectively (and quickly!) • When to be strategic — and even ruthless — with your networking time • Navigating rejection, ageism, and confidence dips • Why networking should be a long-term strategy — not just when you’re desperate This episode is honest, practical, and at times provocative - especially when discussing the realities of networking in Singapore, the impact of AI on hiring, and how to spot red flags in professional meetings. Key Takeaways: ✔ Introverts can network successfully by setting realistic goals (meet 1–2 people, not 25) ✔ Follow up within 24–48 hours — and personalize your message ✔ Quality and quantity both matter in today’s competitive job market ✔ Content marketing on LinkedIn can attract opportunities ✔ Rejection is part of the numbers game — don’t take it personally ✔ One meaningful conversation can change everything Timestamps: 00:00 – Why networking matters in a job search 02:56 – How introverts can survive (and thrive at) networking events 07:02 – The bar strategy & breaking into conversations 14:12 – Ruthless vs relationship-focused networking 19:18 – Following up effectively after events 24:07 – LinkedIn strategies that work 33:56 – Open to Work: yes or no? 42:41 – Handling rejection, ageism & AI in the job market If you’re currently job searching, feeling discouraged, or struggling with confidence — this episode is for you.
