Sometimes it can feel like you are putting the “work” into networking but not getting the desired results. After a mentor emphasised “Your network is your net worth” and it could do wonders for my career, I attended as many networking events and conferences as my calendar could handle. And it was hard! As an introvert, I spent a lot of energy meeting new people and would come back home exhausted with a lot of business cards I didn’t know what to do with.
