As a hardcore introvert, I find everything about “networking” disturbing. The idea of going to a “networking event” to socialize and promote myself makes my throat close up. But I’m starting to realize, like George Costanza on “Opposite Day,” that what I’ve been doing to land a job has not been working.
OMG, that sounds so awful, LOL! I'm a very social introvert but hate making phone calls. I'd MUCH rather write to people, unless they're close friends I talk to regularly. It does sound like a great strategy, though. Although I'd also be nervous that it would result in way more coffee dates and such than I'd want to schedule. Good for you for trying it out! Sounds like it's been worth doing.
Congratulations and THANK YOU! How thrilling to see the results of your strategy--even so early in the process. People DO love to hear from you, Adam. Well done, my friend.
