No, you\u2019re not at your 5th<\/sup> grade dance recital nor are you having a dream about standing in front of your class naked. You\u2019re at a networking event, which may be worse than either scenario.<\/p>\n

Networking is a necessary evil your career needs in order to thrive. Whether you\u2019re at the start of your career or you\u2019ve been around your industry for what feels like a hundred years, you\u2019ll still need a helping hand.
