What is the value of networking?

I just realized that "networking" means that a entire committee gets access to your personal life - - through the opinion of the person that they are "networking" with. Then astonishingly the committee members, feeling justified to this privy, openly make comments to you about YOUR life (through the eyes of the person they are "networking" with) as if they have actually had a personal conversation with you before about it...





Is this the way of the world?

What is the value of networking?
Networking is the best way of marketing yourself but it does not mean that your personal information can be accessed unless you let it be known.


Networking is basically the flow of either information or products from one source to another, it can be a very powerful tool but like all powerful tools it should be used with care, never give out personal information that you want to be kept private.


If you stop and think about it you have been networking all your life, but you call your closest network - family and friends.


Networking is the way of the world and in fact has the ability to bring people closer together.
Reply:Yes, it is pretty much the way of the world. You want to be out there because you never know what you will find out there.





There are diamonds are hidden but they are diamonds none the less!





I would suggest that you protect yourself and your information. I don't really know of any networking committees, especially a bunch of people being privy to your personal information, so be careful!





Good luck to you! :-D
