Networking is not about "schmoozing" and handing out business cards to everyone! It's an art, and learning how to master it will boost you to new heights!
Networking offers one of the best ways of finding leads for new business and a valuable component of career advancement. You want to be viewed as a resource for business development advice and a source of leads to career or business opportunities.
