CORE DEFINITION

Don't wait for a master to hire you. Actively use the master's public materials (articles, videos) to create derivative works, summaries, designs, or tools, and give them to the master for free or make them public.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Reverse recruitment. This is the best way to get close to experts in the internet age. By 'working first, job-seeking later,' you prove your value with actual work and eliminate the other party's screening costs.
