[quote=Anonymous]I have gotten all my jobs through personal relationships, and yes, sometimes that relationship has started with something as innocuous as a social conversation. The "networking" in this case is the follow-up that happens after that first interesting chat. More often, though, someone who knows me well has recommended me to someone who respects the opinion of the person doing the recommending. What I have NOT seen work is informational interviews. I've also done hiring, and have never bumped someone up on my candidate list following an informational interview. So I think it's fine to do them as a job-seeker, but only to actually GET information, not as an attempt to get a foot in the door. [/quote]
