Networking, and job hunting itself are emotionally taxing, physically draining and occasionally discouraging. Therefore, do not try to go it alone. Talk to other people with whom you can share your victories and setbacks -- people who can sympathize, but can also keep you on track the days when you want to quit.
Networking can also be enjoyable and rewarding, especially when you keep it foremost in your mind that YOU have something to offer every person you speak with.
If you do not feel that you have something to offer the marketplace and the people you talk to, or if you are unclear on what it is that you have to offer, then you may need to do a little more work on self-assessment.
Throughout the networking process, your focus and emphasis should be not on your need for employment but on your competencies and on what you have to bring to an organization, company or employer.
