So a friend suggested I go to a meeting for a local chapter for an engineering society. It was mildly interesting and a lot of the guys were middle aged guys and up and not too many people my age or younger and definitely lots more introvert types. My initial thought was, "Is this what I'm going to be like when I'm older? Is this what I'm like already" Sigh.
Anyway, afterward, I was talking to as several of the people there and came across another person who's unemployed. We're talking and he has a contact at a local company. He suggests I send him my resume. Well, the resume gets to the contact and then the contact's boss and I'm going to meet the boss, no phone interview even.
So I guess I'm surprised that networking worked and in this case without any strong ties at all. I just met this guy and he just met his contact recently as well. I'll let you know how it goes after I meet the boss.
