yellowbumblebee Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi Networking petrifies me, and since I've started working around 5 years ago, I've managed to avoid it without much detroment. I've started in a new field where networking would be really helpful, but I don't know how to start getting used to it. There is so much advice online I'm not sure how to begin! My main problem is that I think I have nothing to offer and that people I want to talk to are much more impressive than me. I'm worried I'll give a bad impression and that I would be worse off than if I had not spoken to them! Any advice or recommendations of resources that have helped you? Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
