Greetings!

According to Forbes.com there are Four Career Networking Tips that Work!

The way networking is usually presented makes it seem incredibly unappealing. Networking isn't about forcing yourself out the door to attend networking events where you'll present your elevator speech and hand out your business card to as many people as possible. It's about developing genuine relationships with people who will be there for you even when you don't need them. So how do you do that?

1. Become the type of person other people want to meet.

This strategy may be particularly appealing to introverts, who can be put off by traditional networking tips that seem to require being outgoing.

2. Be more interested in other people than you are in yourself.
Almost everyone is much more interested in themselves than they are in you. And almost everyone, given the chance, will talk about themselves rather than really listening to you.

3. Be more concerned with collecting business cards than with handing them out.
If you think handing out your business card is a great way to make new contacts, you're dead wrong. When you hand someone your card without getting theirs in return, the ball is in their court. You have no way of contacting them again.

4. Join clubs.
Don't just join clubs for the sake of meeting people for networking--people will see right through your insincerity. Join clubs that do things you are genuinely interested in especially within your career scope. Best of all, you will probably have fun and make friends, so building your network won't feel like drudgery.
