I agree that some people may not form a great networking base within office walls, but that doesn't mean it's not a great place TO form a great network. I've been at my job for 4 years and my network that I've made here is huge. It's very strong, reliable and it gets me places.

Thats just how the world works. Ask anyone thats made it big somewhere, and u will find that many people helped them get there by opening doors otherwise they never would of had the chance to, if they relied on "what they knew"

And that's exactly what I learnt last year, reason why I posted this thread

Thank you

depends what type of industry you are in, If your in a cut throat industry where you are in total competition against the guy next to you then the office is horrible to network in.

I dont know, maybe im not one to give advicein networking because its second nature for me. its like someone who's naturally talented at hockey, he cant really tell you what he does to score goals...he just has always scored goals. how do you explain to a person how to blink?
