And how do you do the networking as a recovering academic? And more importantly, how do you get into the headspace of networking? What is your ultimate goal with networking?   “[Networking] It’s not who you know, it’s not what you know, but who knows what you know” – @Doctor_PMS Interesting to notice the differences between the takes on networking as an introvert (like Amanda and Ian) or an extrovert (like Cleyde). There are many ‘alternative’ forms of networking that doesn’t require you actively talking to people. “I try to think about a connection of how do I think I can help them out – @LadyScientist” See if you can spot the moment when Ian’s cat interrupted the discussion!   “Remember n equals 1 is success” – @IHStreet     Mentioned in This Episode Beyond the bench podcast SC 04: Engineering a Career with Family: Dr. GDale Wesson from @DrQualls Networking event mentioned by Amanda was by Dr. Thierry Dubroca, you can see the slides here and contact him at [email protected] Recovering Academic series 1, episode 8 on Linkedin Adam’s Rib Co  Dave Shiffman’s (@WhySharksMatter) tweet on how many faculty jobs people applied to before getting one   Photo Credit: Chris Potter (www.ccPixs.com).
