Q. Everyone is saying that you need to network to find a new job. But you hate networking. Do you have to do it?

As anyone I have coached will tell you, I’m a fan of Lucht’s formalized face-to-face networking. I see folk practicing “networking” without doing the proper preparation. Even worse, they don’t follow up.
Very frustrating.
