All that networking shyt is fakkit shyt

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

People in here bullshytting. Networking got me into places I had NO business being in. It isn't kissing ass so much as aligning your talents with people who can do favors for you,
with the understanding that you may or may not need to do favors for them in the meanwhile.

If you just talking to people and hoping for opportunities, thats just plain schmoozing, which is chatty patty shyt. Having people who like you and will give you recommendations
is ESSENTIAL , unless you are happy being unemployed or being paid $9 or less to deal with ignorant ass customers for 40 hours a week, or worse, 15 hours when they cut
your workload.

If you aren't running your own shyt or a stellar person in your field, writing off networking is a loser thing. People don't want to work with quiet folks who look disinterested all the
fukking time.

Networking, having people vouch for you will always speak louder than you can for yourself. I've gotten some of the best advice in my life from people that I've befriended and networked with. I have people that have written me letters of recommendations. I teach at a university part-time so I get a lot of that from my students but when I get this from the administration that said, whatever you do, please don't lose iceberg, brehs, that is a top flight recommendation right there. I just wrote a recommendation for a former student today. It's not always about what you know, it's about who you know. That said, I've been able to persevere in this. I don't run across too many black health care professionals in my time, sure as hell no males so in essence, I navigate blindly sometimes but I have a good idea on where I need to go.

Don't put yourself in a position to be talked down to.

I was number one in sales for thirteen straight months as a beginner in the internet new media sales business.
at chicago's oldest and largest isp, for just starters.
the same company that first offered all the shyt you internet nikkaz hold dear.
from nt FrontPage extension in hosting to high speed dedicated access for small business/consumers.
when, aol was 19 a pop.
I had every large corporate account on lock and residential consumers paying 28.99 for dialup/pop account.
to being at tier one provider from dial up to fiber.
plus, I sold everything from boardroom to block.

you don't know how to stfu and listen.
that is why you suck at getting referrals.

I, should have just ignored your non-gracious goof failure ass.
yet, I couldn't resist pulling out that table.

*this ain't my first time being hood rich, goofie.

Idk even know what you're talking about. I'm not looking for none of that but I feel you on your op about not needing to network

I finally understand power structures etc getting sued. Wealthy vs Rich.
But still overall networking, making connections/allies. Etc thats fakkit shyt(I don't mean gay).
That s chatty patty shyt.
fukk all that

I thought that when they told us about networking in college. I was like, "I need to brown nose at business meetings and whatever to move up in the business world?"

Looking back, I never really made it into the big corporate world, but I do see how brown nosing to your superiors in a small company would have been a good idea and how I didn't do enough of it.

I have never done the 'suit and tie mixer' things...but the act and effort of getting people to like, trust, and work with you is essential almost uniformly....like, trust, work with being general terms to describe ascending in the world....The whole 'win friends and influence people' comes naturally to me, and I hate those books and seminars, and have never read them, but their concepts are second nature to me. Remember what people say, take genuine interest in what they say, ask questions, theres a dozen things like that....Barring most extreme examples, people want to do business with people they like and respect. Sincerity is what lasts....drinks and bullshyt with a smile is often very fleeting and doesn't form longterm relationships or connections.

As far as networking in wealthy or affluent crowds, always keep your dignity, and don't get lost in a world you don't belong to...yet. Meaning don't take anything for free, or be very discerning, lest you lose respect by placing yourself in their debt or service.

Listen to how your dumb azz sounds. It ain't no different than it's ever been, just more instantaneous.

Also recruiters are looking for people to give you recommendations from colleagues at the same level.

I just gave my nikka a smashing review about a month ago, I know he got the job and I'm waiting on that free massage from a girl with juggalo titties that he promised me.

People gotta understand this. I submitted a fukked up resume to my last job, cause most places didn't care too much about the format so long
as the cover letter was good.

On the strength of my recommendation from a friend, not only did they call me in anyway, but the person who supervised my position redid my resume to submit
it to HR. I had NO business working there. Recommendations and friendly advice>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all that other shyt. You get way more opportunities
when people like you. I have a job for life at this other place because the lady and I like each other. A middle aged Italian woman who is damn near like
a second mother to me, and we kept ties even when I stepped away for a while. Moment I lost my other job, she worked me back in without hesitation.

Hard work is good, but strong ties are better. They get you into the door, and often, give you more chances to growFact of life. People need to
get their social skills up.

 

[Mr Rager]

You aren't networking if you have to pretend. Networking is building genuine relationships with people who can put faith in you for the future.

You must be young.
Networking is creating hollow and superficial relationships in the hopes that one can benefit from the other.
There's no such thing as friends out here junior. Wake up.
