Sometimes, you come across a job offer or an article that resonates with you, prompting you to share it with a specific contact who might be interested. It’s a gamble because you’re unsure how your message will be received by the recipient. Perhaps they already know about the job opportunity and don’t feel suited for the role. Maybe the article seems too general or vague since they possess more knowledge about the specific field than you do.

However, this act of sharing costs you nothing. In fact, it’s an opportunity to deepen your understanding of your colleague or coworker. Beyond the job offer or article, it’s about the narrative we construct about our own skills and capacities.

Even if your recipient doesn’t benefit directly from your sharing, you’re still nurturing the relationship. Additionally, you’re more likely to remember what you’ve read, and you’ll be better equipped to share even more relevant content in the future. Keep sharing.
