Brilliant Ideas that will Never Work: Stop Networking!

Attention everyone: stop networking right now! Just stop it! Don't try to make friends unless you're interested in social friendship. Don't try to make contacts who can get you a secret unadvertised job. Apply for and pursue only advertised jobs (although you can accept any unadvertised job that lands in your lap with no effort on your part - I'm not an ogre here!)

If everyone does this, then employers will have to actually advertise their jobs, and the whole employment market will become far more reasonable.

Do I sense some resentment here?

Professional competence combined with introversion

Perhaps you can use some of that professional competence to leave the introversion out of your professional life? Best wishes.

Introversion has to do with the physical "wiring" in one's brain. If you can give me a step by step procedure on how to use my translation skills to change that on an ad hoc basis, I'm open to suggestions.
