I think a better q would be best practices for networking, as I'm sure we all understand the value of networking (this goes even in classes when working through cases/hw).

Set some time up w folks that you are genuinely curious about and try to not force the interaction - express your curiosity and interest in getting to know them by attentively listening and summarizing what they're saying. I think that's probably the most important practice I would suggest and it's helped me quite a bit, even to get opportunities to pivot from divisions.
Ex: Finance-> PM

They are very helpful. As far as getting your resume in the right hands and kind of bypassing some unnecessary steps in the process. I would highly suggest networking.

I find it very helpful in terms of keeping an eye on new opportunities and getting referrals

Referrals are extremely helpful! So many people at my company were hired based on referral

Very helpful. It’s another edge at the end of the day.

Very. VERY. All my roles have been connections or referrals, and they saved me from a layoff!

Wow, saved you from a layoff too? How?? I thought layoffs are only impacted by C-levels

I agree with the comments here. It is indeed very helpful. It makes you aware of the opportunities and it will be easier for you to get invitations for interview with possible referrals.

Developing your network is crucial. It advances your career and increases the visibility on your abilities, talents, and knowledge. However, referred candidates are hired more quickly than candidates found through a career website, so there's that.

How do you go about not underselling yourself on a resume/interview while also not exaggerating your accomplishments? I have a lot of team/group experience but I think it would be an exaggeration to just say for example “formulated Omni-channel marketing plan targeting gen x consumer in consideration of a buy now pay later plan”. I had a role on a team and contributed, but I have heard recruiters are off put by stating you were part of a team effort since they don’t know your contribution to it.
