WHO IS HOSTING? Sabrina Dhaliwal is a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Nerdio and a longtime member of the Rhize community. After experiencing two layoffs in two years, she doubled down on building and nurturing her network, ultimately turning those relationships into three job offers in a row. She brings a practical, real-world perspective on what actually worked for her in today’s job market.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? Networking. It is is one of the most overused and under-explained parts of the job search. Everyone talks about it, but few people explain how to do it, and it becomes especially frustrating when it feels like your outreach falls flat. Sabrina will break down exactly how she approached networking: what she did, how she asked for coffee chats, how she followed up, and how long it realistically took to see results. This is a candid discussion about leveraging your network as another tool to navigate the job market in 2026.
WHEN IS THE EVENT? Live on Tues. May 19th. The recording will be posted in Rhize by end of week.
WHY SHOULD I SHOW UP? If you’ve tried networking and felt like it went nowhere, or if it feels vague, forced, or transactional, this session will give you a more grounded approach. Sabrina isn’t a career coach or influencer, she’s someone who navigated this job market quite literally a month ago. Networking isn't a magic bullet, but the goal of this session is to present a clearer, more realistic understanding of what networking can look like.
HOW CAN I SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS? Nothing specific to prep! Come ready to engage in the discussion!
