Thank you for your sharing. I think that it’s also my problem. I forget words when I’m speaking. It’s perhaps from my memory problem. I will try to sleep well at night to get the memory back to me.

This is the best explanation of my problem. It can be named like 'intermediate trap'. 😊Thanks for this useful video. First step is defining the problem before solving.

Insightful tips !!
Kara how to get referrals from people unknown but in similar industry/work or complete strangers on LinkedIn app or other platforms when it's not possible to meet physically ? Getting referred is a great idea and most posts are filled that way so i need to know what exactly do i say to them for getting a chance being interviewed at their company ?? Should i be direct straight forward in asking about job to people on LinkedIn who are working at present in companies of my field work..
