Networking myths and truths:

Networking myth #1: In order to be good at networking, you have to be an extrovert and really outgoing.
The truth: While some extroverts are good at networking, people with big personalities can be overpowering. Quiet, thoughtful people can be great because one of the key components of networking is listening. A listener can zero in on a key connection that can be the cornerstone of a successful relationship.

Networking myth #2: Networking is all about talking. Just keep talking and you’ll be fine!
The truth: Although many networking events are loaded with chatter, once again, successful networking comes down to listening, keeping an ear out for that crucial connection—or the lack thereof. 

Networking myth #3: Every person you meet at a networking event is worth a follow-up.
The truth: Some people you meet are just people you meet, and the relationship will end there. Thinking “How many cards can I collect; how many LinkedIn connections can I make?” is not a good approach to networking. It isn’t about numbers; it’s about meaningful connections.
