Networking
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
Building work contacts who might tell you about jobs or put in a good word — through events, LinkedIn, or people you already know. Many UK roles, especially part-time and casual, are filled this way before being advertised.
Chinese explanation
人脉拓展（networking）：通过活动、领英或熟人建立职场联系，他们可能告诉你职位空缺或替你美言——很多英国岗位，尤其兼职和零工，在正式发布前就靠这种方式招满了。
Example conversation
A: I keep applying online with no luck.

A：我一直在网上投，却没消息。
B：也试试拓展人脉——很多工作还没发布就招满了。
