Four Tips to Make a Lasting Impression at a Networking Event
Fast Company Reid Carr I can't count the number of times I've attended a networking event only to meet someone that doesn't differentiate themselves from other folks in their industry. For example, when coming across a technical programmer at a software company, they leave out a crucial part by explaining what the company actually does or the specialization.
