You are supposed to either already have connections, or be forced to adapt your skills to create connections.
Ya know, they just want to make sure you’re one of them first and not one of the others
While the tone of this post is mocking, it's a very real thing that having the social skills to match someone else's vibe during an interview can help tremendously with helping the interviewer see you as someone who can fit with the company culture.
I see people who struggle with getting jobs often are lacking in those sort of soft social skills.
If you lack social skills you better have some sort of labor relevant skill to replace it with them!
I honestly need to work more on my connecting. Hopefully not any time soon but that networking gives me hella anxiety
