It sounds like you work for a public interest group, all the polipeople you work with. A friend of mine from Ohio was with a PIRG group, worked under a director of sorts – was a self-proclaimed super canvasser – but stopped working with them for lack of direction, disinterest in HIM as a resource. Overworked and unloved.

Im really curious just how much of this advice and mindset you still believe.
this is an old post but some of this stuff seems,
well,
kinda bogus.

And i mean that in the nicest possible way.

Fake being connected?

Tell people you are what you want to be,
not what you are?
I want to be a millionaire author and retired business mogul. Is it a good idea to tell people THAT instead of how im really just a stay at home homeschooling dad who helps tiny small businesses and broke non-profit groups?

“Talk to boring people, …you never know who will be useful towards your goal.”
I have an intuition that just maybe , possibly you are cooler than this post suggests.
and i mean that in the nicest possible way.

thanks and take care

I was once a waiter and a realtor, and I can tell you that you have given sage advice in this blog. Real estate professionals essentially operate their own businesses, so getting to know as many people as possible is critical. In food service, you are in contact with the general public and meeting new people all of the time. You are absolutely correct about people judging others based on their interactions with the wait staff of a restaurant (I have often overheard conversations of judgment coming from nearby tables about a particular diner’s attitude with their server).

Networking is critical, and people in these roles can provide a quick and easy way to develop your network.

Thanks!

I like the point about meeting people late and putting the extra work outside of office hours. So many people don’t seem to get this and want everything to come to them neatly in office hours.
