  i think it's important to be assertive and ask questions

  at the opportune time but don't come across as being

  hungry or pushy. networking can work for you; try using the

  Columbo approach. Simply invite that person's response!

  Social Networking has led to my dream job, after going through several dozen networks, looking for the right people who were actively pursuing professional interests...I am now focused on networks that support my goals and vision for sustainable communities.

  As moderator of EnergyTalk LIVE Radio at BTR; hosted by AlternativeEnergy.com I work from my home, providing tech support for organizers who host their own radio shows. We started in June and do more than a dozen LIVE shows each week on energy and sustainable community development.

  After the show, we invite the expert guests to connect with other organizers, via IM/VOIP; primarily on Skype for those we are training overseas. Everything is done at minimal cost, including the tech support, which is provided free to radio hosts. Our vision is to take EnergyTalk to every campus that teaches science and energy.

  The viral networks are helping to get some great things done, such as training the organizers of the Pickens Groups, at Push.PickensPlan.com/groups

  Picken's Armies have grown from 7300 members three weeks ago, when I joined to over 77,000 today! I have never seen such interest in energy development in the seven years that I have actively promoted education and training in this field, at both regional and national levels. The overseas interest is coming from the IT sector in Asia and Europe; Africa and Latin America.

  A Global Green REVOLution!! History is being made; as we are being compelled to think past the wars and quasi-elections in the US...the effect of having oil giants investing billions into wind and water projects is to take money out of the mouths of politicians. Go see for yourself if I am exagerating about the power of networking in changing the course of the energy policies in countries who rely on oil production and consumption...

  Social networking is communicating with people for a job, contract as well as chat with the local job attendant or an employee from your local dry cleaners. I believe non verbal communication speaks volumes, such as wearing a nice blouse, suit or jewelery. Also, having business cards as a vital source is important whether you have a business or not, because you are still marketing yourself. A small card leaves a lasting impression.. I've learned alot from Dr. C at Unlimit Horizons. She's in NJ, however, I learned that small piece of information from one of her presentations. www.unlimithorizons.com

  One mistake that people often make is that they simply do not listen. If you just take the time to listen people will often tell you what they are interested in and what they are looking for without you even asking any questions. Being able to listen can pay off not only in your business life but in your social life as well.

  I agree with the person who replied about CT. Have anyone of you food critics eaten the pizza at Sally's and Pepe's 2 of the oldest and real pizza makers in America located in New Haven, CT? Authentic from the oven to the environment. Customers have been waiting in line to get in for their pizza for at least 80 years. Why? Woodburning ovens that were installed at the beginning of the 20th century and all the best and natural ingredients. Italian immigrants who made their American Dream come true and gave the old Italian neighborhood of Wooster Street, New Haven, CT and the international community of Yale University and many other universities and colleges the most perfect and simple food from Naples originally created for Princess Margarita. The families still own and operate these restaurants quite a feat in America. That is 4 generations now.
