I just bought "Networking for People Who Hate Networking" -it's the one with 3 penguins on the cover. Haven't read it yet.Quote:

your field is very technical, right? i can see why it'd be very difficult to find qualified people.
I hate networking too...but I've been told that I see like I might be good at it. Well, I don't know but these days....I think you can't really get anywhere without having really good friends. Lots of places, I've heard, depend on internal references--so you must know someone on the inside.
i always feel like i'm bothering ppl, which i probably am.
after bothering this dude for a while, i feel like my networking is paying off! woot!
