Networking, not just a wire anymore

Just a quick something to think about.  For years Networking meant one thing to an IT person and something completely different to the rest of the world.  Well here's the problem, IT professionals need Networking as much as everyone else, and I don't mean the electronic kind.

Meet people, go to events, both business social and conventions or expos when you can.  Hand out your card, and make contacts.  Those people could save your job in a pinch if you need resources you don't have, or, worst case scenario, they can get you a new one if you're in the market.

So be friendly, practice your handshake, and get out there!  It's like dating, only less emotional and easier on the wallet.
