Cast your net wide is a phrase that we use often to talk about not being too narrow in your search. It's a figure of speech that comes from fishing. When you are fishing, the wider the net, the more fish you are likely to catch. The action of throwing a net out to fish is called "casting a net."
So we use the term a lot when applying for jobs or for colleges. You could also hear it when you are doing research. A professor might tell you to start your search broad and not start off with searches that are too specific.
