7. Tips For Effective Networking
Be Genuine: Be yourself when networking, and focus on building genuine
relationships. People are more likely to help those they feel a real connection with.
Listen Actively: Pay attention to what others are saying during conversations.

Keep your conversation brief and respectful, especially if they have a line of people
waiting to speak with them.
