I agree that networking is a challenge. It takes social confidence and an ability to let pride fall to your side. Being unselfish is a great mindset heading in to an event. Think: "people need me in there!" Leaving Vegas today . . . hope the flight home is a little less bumpy! Well said, Bill. I agree that networking is a challenge.

I really appreciated this article. One of the most challenging things about the job search for me is the networking part. Everything you wrote makes perfect sense - I guess we all just need to be reminded of common courtesy now and again. From everything I have learned so far about networking and networking events, it is important to go into them with a polite and positive attitude and a willingness to offer yourself up to others - not just "what can you do for me?" but, "how can I help you?". I have run into so many people who want to take and take and take (leads, contacts, recruiter names) but don't offer anything in return. That kind of leaves a bad 1st impression and, as Suzy said, you get one chance to make a good 1st impression. Hi Tim, Hope Vegas was fun.

As the saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Therefore, in our job search efforts ... and in all of life ... it is critically important to be aware of what kind of first impression we are making! And if that be true, why not endeavor to always make an impression that allows the other person to know that they are important and valued? Hi Tim,
