Forgive me. EXPLETIVE!

It's one of a set of skills that you need to be able to function in the modern business world.

If you can't communicate on a personal level then yes you are at a disadvantage. So hey.... Why not put yourself out there and learn.

I wasn't the best in the social business environment either, but I put myself out of my comfort zone and got on with it.

If you think everyone networking is comfortable then you are extremely naive.

Being qualified is less than half the requirement in my experience.

Your problem becomes more apparent by the day, you are negative and it's all someone else's fault.

I wouldn't hire you either. Get over yourself, the world owes you nothing.

 

rant response to rant thread over.

The world owes me a job. Not a great job, but not a job that's exploiting me (as too many seem to want to do).

There i said it.

Then you're screwed.

it literally doesn't owe you a thing. 

I wasn't born into anything, very, very! modest background, likely a lot more modest than yours.  

Networking isn't only for insiders, you go there, you put yourself in it, you become part of it. With luck you profit from it. That's the point. 

The key word is in there somewhere.

I think it begins with the letter "L".
