Hey there. Orianna here from Fortune.

Forget the perfectly tailored résumé and endless cover letters. According to Sanjay Beri, CEO of the $5.5 billion software giant Netskope, the real key to landing your dream job is showing up to enough dinners.

That’s because despite LinkedIn being full of jobs to apply to, Beri admits the secret to success is still very much who you know.

“Who you know, how you get to know them, and building your network will pay off over time,” the Gen X founder and CEO told me. “Sometimes those jobs you want, they’re never published.”

When asked for his No. 1 tip on breaking into the tech industry—as someone who went from working on the IT help desk at 16 in Toronto with zero contacts to running a Silicon Valley tech company and brushing shoulders with Microsoft’s ex-chairman John W. Thompson—he didn’t hesitate: “Just constant networking.”

And it’s not enough to just pop along to a networking event once a quarter. Beri said Gen Z workers who aren’t tied down with a marriage or kids should be doing it two to three times a week if they want to get ahead.

“It could just be as simple as going to a local event where someone’s speaking; it could be going to a university event where a person from a company is speaking,” Beri added.

Essentially, it doesn’t have to be an awkward speed networking type event. Anything from a conference in your preferred field to coffee with a connection counts. “Those are the types of things that I would look for, and if you’re a new grad, there’s a lot of local clubs and other things you can go to,” he added.

Read on to find out his tip for networking without needing to carve out loads of time from your calendar.
