<p>Can someone explain this to me? I understand that networking is meeting new people and keeping in touch with them so you can get better opportunities, but how is one person better at it than another person?</p>
<p>my friend, who is a business major, says he takes classes at the U to learn how to "network"</p>
<p>anyone want to give more insight into this?</p>
<p>haha the company I am interning at constanly tells us to network. A good idea is to ask for business cards whenever you meet someone whose contact info you want to hold onto.</p>
<p>Networking involves knowing how to read people and learning how you can get them to provide you with information or connections that will help you in some way. It's a skill and you just have to know how to play that card called politics.</p>
