I did a bit of schmoozing when I went to company-next-door's Christmas party. Didn't go quite as far as business cards though!

This article is full of garbage

7. Business cards, check
Leaving a lasting memory is vital for the next day follow-up. Make sure you are armed with business cards and a charged mobile phone.

You are supposed to hand out business cards to your own bosses, whaaaaat?

Office Christmas party: how to get a promotion instead of a hangover - Telegraph

Love this one -

Think of the Christmas party as an unofficial job interview with no other candidates. It’s your time to work the room and collect connections. Plan your night carefully and think through the opportunities for you in the room and how you want to approach them. Who are the top five people that can impact your career? How do they want to be approached? What do you need them to know about you? Create a mental list and then make a beeline.

Beeline to do what?!
