Networking mistakes to avoid.

This article by Ruth Mantell of the Wall Street Journal covers common networking mistakes. Now several of my posts on Social Media have covered the importance of these tools in developing your network... but I feel that I may have neglected to discuss networking and it's importance fully.

Here is the entry from the Riley Guide on Networking, which I reviewed in an early blog entry. As they point out it is consistently cited as the #1 way to get a new job. I can't say that it has directly led to a job opportunity for me personally, but I can say that it has helped keep me connected to my profession during my search for a new job.

If you have stories, good or bad, I would love to hear them.
