The great myth of networking is that you start reaching out to others only when you need something -- like a job.
Many people start networking only after they've lost their jobs. Effective networking means creating contacts and relationships while you're still employed.
Networking isn't a process of making cold-calls to people you don't know.
It's talking to people you do know or asking them to introduce you to others.
Networking is always a two-way street.
It must benefit both persons to be most effective, so as you ask your network for help when you need, be prepared to return the favor when asked.
No one likes to be used. Follow up every conversation with a thank-you note, email or call.
Let your contact know whether his suggestions panned out or not. You may think your networking is over, but your paths may cross again.
