If I were in Kurt’s shoes, after the first email where I had clarified what the basis for the introduction was, Kurt should have checked with Monica to make sure what she had asked me to do, and then Just would have said that hey I am in ths company, this is what we do, I know you are in the industry so any pointers, any opportunities etc would be helpful.

as far as khudkashi karnay ka sahee tareeqa thre is no saheeh tareeqa for khudkashi

Re: how NOT to network

I think there should be more examples, some of us could really use it.

Heres a tip though from a book i was reading:
You need to build your network BEFORE you need it.

Re: how NOT to network

Its been interesting following the chain of correspondence – I thought I’d leave my comments until after I get to see what ensues.

Khair, ab ovo, the sassiness of this guy struck me as amusing (for lack of a better word) – I mean c’mon:

Apparently she thinks you may be able to help me with my new company.

[/quote]

He’s not only debasing your favor, but demeaning his wife’s concern for his career.

Quite frankly, that statement would have put me off ad nauseum – and I would prolly have been more stern in my tone of reply.

Re: how NOT to network

Very unprofessional. I mean you are networking! almost seeking help/guidence and NOT selling! Then again, God knows what she said to the hubby. He seemed like he thought ur the one in need. Networking is about getting to know the person, getting to know what one does, and establish a good relationship so in the future, people might help each other out.

I agree with Fraudia though, even if hes a jerk... one can always just stay professional. Even if you know he isnt worth it, dont end it with a bad taste in the mouth...its easy to put someone in their place but these things can matter a lot in the long run. You'd be surprised how many people that know you would know them as well so its all interlinked. Its not one person you are pissing off... that one person still knows a 100 others.
