There's a fast-track if you can do the networking. For some personalities it works, but for mine it doesn't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I do have a computer at home and a pretty good ISDN connection.
Best results are often achieved well before you need a job, by consistently networking so that when you find yourself job-hunting you have a large network to work with.
Many believe effective networking is done face-to-face, building a rapport with someone by looking at them in the eye, leading to a solid connection and foundational trust.
I've worked in network and cable on and off for a number of years, and you just understand what your parameters are. A lot of times, I think the best work that my team has come up with comes from having to deal with certain boundaries.
I have no problem at all going back and forth between cable and network.
It's hard being on a new network, a smaller network.
I want to own a network. I want to own a network where you can turn it on with your family all day long and get positive reinforcement.
I've met so many who have opened doors for me and remained in my life both personally and professionally. After a while, networking doesn't feel like 'networking.' It's both serendipitous and unpredictable, and something that just naturally becomes part of your work life and your personal life.
Networking is rubbish; have friends instead.
For me, I'm happy to succeed on any network.
