Bring up the word networking around some people and they totally freeze up. They have no idea how to act in networking situations and don't want to participate whatsoever in any career networking events because they feel like they have no social skills at all. While fears like that are understandable, in some cases you have to make an effort to overcome your fears and just dive right in.

You might even find someone with a similar obsessive love for The Wire and bond over that common love. Even though you might not be bonding over business it's still important to connect with people.

The contacts you make at networking events can not only potentially help you further your career but they could also lead you on the path to a new career in a different field.
