Opportunities don't move through job postings; they move through people. Executive coach Cam Yenokida joins Find Your Dream Job to talk about what intentional networking looks like: why referrals carry so much weight with hiring managers, why you don't need a perfect connection to get one, and how to build a strategy that keeps you focused without burning you out.

Cam also gets real about the emotional side of a job search: the fatigue, the identity questions, the moments you want to give up. He shares how to follow up in ways that feel genuine, how to know when a conversation was worth your time, and why the best thing you can bring to any networking interaction is a clear sense of your own value.
