EVENT DETAILS |
If you think networking is a "dirty" word, you're not alone.
A lot of people think "networking" is just walking into a room, trying to impress as many people as possible, & leaving with a stack of a hundred business cards. Especially if you consider yourself an "introvert" - you probably find it intimidating since you think everyone at these things is an "extrovert" & you don't know think there's any way you have something to offer.
In reality, networking is really just about making friends.
Networking is about building meaningful friendships with people who do work that interests you. When you start to take the "work" out of it, you can think of it as building a net of people who can & will support you. And the best part of making friends is that friends really want to help each other out. If you start to plant seeds, instead of just looking for the next person who can hand you a job, you'll have people who actually want to help you out without you having to ask for it - whether it be a new job opening, someone they think you should meet, or even a co-founder.
