Thanks for the comment, Thao! Tina Su’s blog is amazing. She definitely emphasizes quality over quantity, which I love. I speak for myself (and I’m guessing others) when I say that my networking skills are an eternal work-in-progress. Still trying to do it in a way that is authentic and natural – which I’ve found works best by giving back to others instead of asking what they can do for me.

I know exactly how you feel, to me networking is a love/hate relationship. I love to network when I meet new people that sparks my interest and/or inspire me. I hate networking when it feels forced or insipid.

After graduating from UCB I realized how important networking is. I’ve heard of the saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”, but I never believed in it till after college. When I had to apply for jobs and they would ask for referrals or references I wouldn’t have great or solid ones I could put out.

Thanks for the great list. I too follow Tina Su, I love her blog ThinkSimpleNow
