Networking is not just about looking out for opportunities for yourself.

You need to have a mindset of give and take. You also need to understand that those you meet could have other interests aside from the obvious.

Surprisingly, your other interests could coincide with theirs.

Try to push the conversation beyond the obvious, so, you and those within your network, can find common interests and look for ways to create more opportunities, that will benefit everyone.
