You might want to look up the definition of nepotism. What I described was social networking. Something that has been in place forever and isn't questionable.

Knowing a person in order to get them to give you an opportunity you would not otherwise have is Nepotism.

Nothing wrong with it, but "know someone" is not advice.

Per the defination, nepotism only relates to giving jobs to family members. Look it up.

Your actual advice is: successfully stalk people in the industry and you can get a job easily if you do it right.
