Ok it’s good to have a lot of connections.
BUT be sure these people are ones you know and trust. Do not connect to EVERYONE you come in contact with or makes a simple request.
I strongly disagree with this article, no matter who the author is, how many people he has spoken to, and how great a publication he writes for. Period. OK time to give the soapbox to someone else.
