Networking Blah Blah Blah
I can be a pretty boring person. Sometimes I get an opinion in my head, and I stick to it.
And then I'll read a post like this one from the re:invention blog for women entrepreneurs, and I'll be gratified to find someone fairly like minded.
I confess that most organized networking events and sites leave me cold and, more accurately, completely skeptical.
Oh, I'm a big believer in networking. Scratch the surface of how most people got their jobs or their consulting gig or met their spouse, and it was via someone they knew.
I just think my definition of networking is a little more narrow and little harder work than some folks might want to hear.
