Its ok, I forgive you. My Saint's fandom must have masked it a little bit.

i agree with this statement. but people who network for a living should never say things like this. I hope you don't say things like this in public, as it will discredit you amongst your peers.

Thank you for the life advice! Get something real out of tRant today.



For what its worth the only network I talk about often is the Aggie one, because it has given me much more than a job in my life.....

you think much too highly of yourself

Thank you cas4t, I appreciate that coming from you.

As a NOLA native the whole Aggie arrogance thing doesn't come naturally to me but when I look back at threads like this I feel like I have come a long way.

People who try to make a living off of networking are not viewed as professionals in my business. There has to be a combination of relationship building skills and knowledge.

Sure sure. We certainly aren't getting to the point where we are like China and only the best friend of the son of the party leader is even offered the job.

But given our current economic climate, with so many good candidates in hiring pool the easiest way to stand out is a personal reference from an internal connection.

I don't think anyone incompetent can have success on networking alone, but your network can open doors of opportunity that other people don't have access to.

But you knew that, I just type a lot by default so frick me...
