I think you might be confusing networking with privilege? And some people are just more privileged than others. Even in something that seems unlikely as Hollywood movie stars – more than half of all of them have a family member in the business that helped them out. It often helps who you know, and who knows what you can do.

Personally I would rather hire someone I know and trust. It still might not work out, but I think I have slightly better odds. Some people have really strange issues and melt downs - and the unknown can be worse than the known.

PS Good luck finding a job. If you get on through here or connections - would you then refuse it because of your networking privilege?

I'll think of it like professional cycling. If everyone else is doping, i have to as well

Well, I think the side effects are quite a bit different.

Sorry if I missed it, but what kind of job are you looking for a and where?  Perhapse someone here can help.
