Signal boost, please?
Across the board, job agencies and advice columnists and success stories all cite networking. Online, in-person, wherever and however.
And I always stare at the words, and feel sick to my stomach, because how the hell am I supposed to network when nobody ever talks about anything and there's no place to do it? There's rarely a guidebook to the process, or a conversation to join, never anything that rewards participation and production of content or genuine friendship - nothing. And if there is, nobody's shown it to me or talked to me about it.
Please, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE, if anyone knows of anyone else living in the greater New York City area, PLEASE TELL ME. At this point I need all the help I can get, and fandom seems to be a better place to get it than a lot of others I can think of.
