2 Years of Networking. 1 Text. Dream Job | Ep 09 | The Reality Gap Pod

Описание: Antonia just landed her dream internship — and the story of how she got it is a masterclass in playing the long game.

Two years ago, some women from a creator marketing team spoke in her class. Antonia stayed in touch. Not because she had a job to ask for, but because she was genuinely interested. Fast forward to senior year: she reaches out for a referral, and instead gets offered a spot on their team.

We talk about the fear of becoming "just another cubicle," what it's like when your dream company actually matches the vibe, and what happens when networking actually works.
