Why selling yourself with elevator pitches, creating bad settings with informational interviews, and trying to impress on LinkedIN DO NOT WORK! We will discuss how to make your interactions about the other person first which creates genuine, authentic, and lasting impressions. These other methods miss the entire point about networking which is to build a relationship of trust so the person might one day be excited and eager to help you land a job, get a promotion, or bargain for a raise! P.S. you don't need a clear understanding of exactly what you want to do professionally to have these conversations either :)
