[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always done what I could to help anyone I can with information or advice or job connections. I've also become known as someone who can recommend good people to those who are hiring. It costs me nothing but a small amount of time and I consider it a contribution to the "job karma bank." I can't tell you how many people there are around DC in very influential positions who got their foot in the door because I steered them in the right direction or recommended them to someone who was looking to fill a job.

Sometimes I ask people if it's ok if I share their name, and sometimes not. It depends on the situation. When people are sent to me, I've never regretted spending half an hour with someone. I can't always help them, but there are many occasions where it's been of great benefit to them and me.  [/quote]

If you are introducing people by email or LinkedIn there’s no world where you should do this without their permission. They may not have time or bandwidth and may not feel how you feel [/quote]
