It is important that when you apply for jobs in the cannabis industry that you try and make as many connections as possible to maximize your chances of landing your dream cannabis job, according to. You will notice that there are many different opportunities advertised, but employers still hire candidates that come with some form of recommendation from a person they know and trust. This is why networking is so important.

In fact, the industry at large depends a lot on trust and credibility, so it is important for you to build this with the people you meet. From the employer’s point of view, if an employer hires someone they don’t know and trust, they fear that the new employee may not be as motivated to obey the rules as someone they know on a personal level.

A great way to do this is attend local events, and write blogs, comment on stories. The more you do this, the more you will get your name out there. Don’t be afraid to speak to others at networking events.
