Business professor and entrepreneur Scott Galloway shared some career advice for young people struggling to find a job during a recent appearance on Shane Smith’s Vice News podcast, emphasizing how networking and personal connections remain critical to a long and successful career.

During the interview, Galloway highlighted the stark mathematics of modern job searches. “Google puts out a job opening, they get 200 CVs within like eight minutes. They limit it down to the 20 most qualified. Seventy percent of the time, the person they pick is someone who has an internal advocate,” he said.
