Nah, trust me, networking is bullshitting. When Boomers say people can't find jobs because they don't network it's just another excuse for as to why society isn't functioning for young people anymore.

From experience all networking ever is is attending a Tech Expo, meeting other people, exchanging Business Cards, then neither of you look at those Business Cards ever again.

That's the fast food of networking. Real networking is answering the phone when you coworker calls, and spending the extra hour to do some the work for them. And saying yes to every ask - word gets out and you begin to be introduced to a lot of people who need favors.
