Post-Toronto Film Festival Soiree at SkyBar

Post Represents: Tuesday, October 4, 2011

My good friend Irving C. Spivak told me about the Post-Toronto Film Festival Soiree Networking event at the Skybar on Sunset and I signed up immediately. Irving is a good friend who always knows about these type of events. He's a great guy and he considers me to me a good friend. He also appreciates the fact that I comment on his Facebook page from time to time.

Final Thoughts

If felt good getting ready for the networking adventure. When I got there, there wasn't much adventure left. There was a lot of people in a dark yet tough atmosphere to network, in my opinion. Things got better when a few of my Lifebook classmates showed up. Overall not much networking was established. At least not as much as I hoped. I'm still glad I went.

Notice my look. More about that in my week 55 review.

As the quest continues

  1. Hey Motown! The first sentence of this blog and the last sentence of this blog contradict each other... (Let me explain in more detail.)

    FIRST SENTENCE: My good friend Irving C. Spivak told me about the Post-Toronto Film Festival Soiree Networking event at the Skybar on Sunset and I signed up immediately.

    LAST SENTENCE: Overall not much networking was established. At least not as much as I hoped. I'm still glad I went.

    Below is an excerpt from "
    Build Relationships and Advance in Your Career"
    By Sakina Rangwala

    "Networking is not a mere exchange of business cards at a cocktail party nor is it bragging about yourself or begging for help from people you barely know. According to most experts, networking is building relationships on the basis of trust that involves a give and take. Lynne Waymon, co-author of the book "Make Your Contacts Count" says, "It's about teaching and giving. Teaching people who you are… and what kind of opportunities to send your way. And it is about giving -- listening so generously that you can also help people accomplish their goals.
    Networking is not optional anymore; it is a crucial skill to master".

    The fact that someone you meet and remembered you and invited you to the event shows you that the networking you have been doing is quite successful. If there was one person at the event that you gave a flyer to, listened to, exchanged numbers with, or established any type of positive relationship, no matter how brief, then networking event will work to your benefit and hopefully someone you met will benefit from meeting you!! When you wrote " Irving is a good friend who always knows about these type of events. He's a great guy and he considers me to me a good friend". that tells me that you are on the right track when it comes to any Networking opportunity! Keep pressing forward and pounding the pavement. I want to see your STAR on Hollywood Boulevard!!!
