Why is networking good for ME personally?
To get my name known, for people to know who I am and to build a reputation.
For what I may get out of it is it worth it?
Yes, it is totally worth it, if people didn't network we would all be nobodies.
WHAT can I get out of this?
Contacts, networking makes you meet new people and it can also be very exciting gaining new contacts and getting known.
Am I doing this simply because I am being asked to?
No I think it is a worth wile excise, I think I would start to do it anyway, everyone needs to network to gain new contacts and experiences.
WHAT do I think that I am NOT doing as far as networking?
Talking to enough people in the industry, as Kate Moross says there is no barrier between you and the people you admire, talk to them, they are human. But I think what I do need to learn is how to talk to them and get a response.
Do YOU think that in this kind communication, language is a major barrier?
I don't think language is a massive barrier at all, most of the worlds population can speak English and if they cant then there is always technology that can be used.
