GeneralTSO...what you have just described IS networking! Before you knock something, at least have a grasp as to what it is. Jetblast, generaltso is right, however. Network through your old co-workers who have gone on to better places and see if they can help.

I just associate the word networking with "kissing ass". People say get out there and network. That is b.s. if you are a nice enough guy you will make friends in the industry. The term networking is like "hey pretend to like someone so they will help you out".

I think the main thing is that when you are at a job you will make friends with some people. Keep in touch with those people, they may be able to help you out later - or you may be able to help them out later.

Old co-workers is where its at.

that, young g'wasshoppa, is a textbook definition of "networking"

ref Websters 1999 version; see also; network n a closely linked group of people, companies, etc.

im unsure as to how you confuse networking with @$$ kissing...thats a whole other ball of wax
