Real-Life Networking

Networking does not just mean having a Twitter account or a Facebook page. Networking is a face to face interaction among people.
Being a special education teacher, networking is important with me, not to get new clients but to learn from other people. I don’t think have to print out business flyers to advertise the services I offer because I have an online presence. Having business cards ready to give to people interested in getting to know me is a big factor.
Networking is not just about these social media sites. Whatever is written in social media sites can be edited. Real-life dealings, though delivered in guarded behavior and measured steps most of the time, can give tell-tale signs on what kind of a person one is.
Networking is about people who will talk positively (and negatively too) about the way others conduct themselves and how they are as people who can be trusted.
No matter how one sugarcoats his/her social media accounts if offline or real-life behavior doesn’t add up, then people would see the real and not the reel person for what he/she truly is.
