Relationships matter when you’re looking for work. But many people feel unsure how to approach them in a way that feels natural. On this episode of Find Your Dream Job, Matthew Warner reframes networking as something deeply human. Rather than collecting contacts, he talks about building relationships with people you enjoy and respect. Matthew explains how investing in your network over time can create trust, shape hiring decisions and help you find work that’s a strong fit.

Matthew also offers advice on how to care for your network over time. He compares relationships to a garden that needs regular care, not bursts of attention when you need something. You’ll learn how small actions, consistency and reciprocity can strengthen your connections throughout your career and why a simple check-in can make a meaningful difference.
