Networking at pubs?

[Kurzon]

Why are you obsessed with pubs?

Sign up for LinkedIn - join groups and debate and discuss your specialisms. Go to conferences, offer to be a speaker. Write articles for journals.

Be visible in your chosen niche.

I'm not obsessed with it I just heard about this sort of thing and wanted to find out more because I wasn't sure how people go about it (from something professional/formal to an informal outside work setting).

I made a LinkedIn account recently.

Regarding conferences, do you mean those international ones by companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec and open-source community events etc.?

Not sure if I could be a speaker though, I shake too much. I'll have a look at journal entries.

Thanks for your replies everyone, yeah I need to get experience first.

That's from a hotel website in Vienna. The image name is SportSaunaVienna.jpg.

They are probably a loving couple. I doubt it has anything to do with professional business relationships.

Quit trolling.

I refused to believe a university would employ someone so stupid.

He's not employed there he is a student there and yes I can believe some can be that thick. Did you not see the reports of some unis taking people on for engineering with 2 e grades and no maths

Anymore posts like this and I'll go with SE's opinion...

[Kurzon]

Quit trolling.

It is not trolling, why did he make a post like this to make fun of me? Why not call him out on it? I responded in an equal manner...

I thought posts were supposed to be kept on topic. Okay so maybe the thread is a bit silly, but I needed to know and there have been some good advice.

Wasn't employed there. Also, Poe's law.

This just has to be a piss take.

A very poor one at that.

[Kurzon]

Okay, thanks to everyone that posted something relevant.

I will stop making these types of threads on topics that I'm genuinely clueless and aren't taken seriously to learn anything from. Last thing I need is to be labelled troll... when all I wanted to know was your experience from professional working relationship to something informal and how it happened.
