Last night I went to a bbq, yes we must find time to have some fun with our family and friends or our stress levels would sky rocket. I told myself I was also going to use this as a net-working tool since I was about to meet people I had never meet before. It went great, while I did not get any job leads right off the bat the people I talked to where more than happy to keep an eye out if they heard of anything come up.. I highly recommend net-working so many people get positions by knowing someone that already works for the company..If you don't like meeting new people, you need to overcome your fears and get out and do it! Trust me once you start it is a breeze..
