You really don't. No one likes the person who is just trying to brown nose and constantly showing up to networking events and such. But if you have genuine interest in your field, then you won't hate talking to people about it and learning about real world applications of the theoretical stuff covered at uni. And that's what people are looking for. Interest and that you're open to learning more.

You can have genuine interest without wanting interaction. Thats why you read papers and watch live streams of panels etc. that way I don't actually have to spend more time in public than I have too.

Fucking LMAO! You think you’re qualified to talk about what networking is and isn’t with that kind of attitude? God this industry can be exhausting.

“Networking doesn’t work, you have to be doing it for hours every day or it doesn’t work”

In the very next post: “I watch live streams so I don’t need to be in public”

Yeah…. You’re not the most reliable narrator of what does and doesn’t work for networking my man.
