Thanks for giving me more information on this topic. Keith Ferrazzi’s videos contain many useful points such as be open, transparent, information-providing, genuine… which I appreciate a lot! Still, the most important thing perhaps lies in the change of our attitude towards networking.

Thanks for your comments. As you’ve already said, best to go into these “official networking” events without any agenda but to try and have good conversations. If you’re interested in more on this topic, there’s a guru that gives great tips – Keith Ferrazzi. You can check out a few of his video clips on YouTube or his books.

Cheers,

I like your point of view. To be honest, I don’t like the word “networking”, either. Whenever I attend a networking session with a networking mind, I feel like I bear some tasks. It makes me unnatural. What’s worse, people tend to pretend to be interested in what you’re talking about and forget right away when a new conversation starts because they think you are simply trying and “networking”.

P.S. Ive noticed that you are really fast in response, mostly within the same day. That’s cool!

Hehe. You have SEO working on “cutc foundation”, which I googled after checking out who was checking out my profile on Linkedin! Hehehe.

Anyway, I looked at a couple articles here. Looks like you have some interesting thoughts here, though you haven’t updated it in a while.

Good luck!
