It sucks that people get afraid of it or are hesitant about even trying to network with others. It really is a matter of genuine interest in what the other person has going on. Thanks for the comment! Andrew, you are so right about there being a right and wrong way to network. It sucks that people get afraid of it or are hesitant about even trying to network with others.

My story complements that statistic :)" Funny that this should come up. My girlfriend and I have been talking about networking recently. We both agree that there's a wrong way to do it. Whether you're too mercenary, the small talk is too insincere, whatever, she has been put off from networking as a whole. I believe that some people network in the wrong way as above. Others like you and I, Nate, ;-) do it the correct way. Where we both take an interest in each other's work and communicate in a sincere and generous manner. Kind of off topic, but just wanted to share. That quote from the post triggered that one. ;-) “I heard somewhere that more than 75% of jobs are found through networking.

If I were younger and unmarried, I'd probably try to get into this line of work. However, I honestly LOVE being married to Tammy Quitter. She's a real person who ROCKS! :-) Great post, Nate! Wow!
