This week in class we watched the movie swingers in order to
learn about the importance of networking in life. I think that in the beginning
of the movie the main character was not being confidant enough because of what
happened in his personal life. No one wants to talk to a robot so personal
experience is a great thing to talk about for networking. Breaking the ice with
the old fashioned what do you do for a living never hurt anyone but being phony
with it can hurt you as in the movie swingers when he was pretending to be a
hot shot to s girl who he actually asked for a job from. Another lesson that
was in the movie is that you have to let go of the past in order to grow as an
individual and as a professional. If you constantly bash yourself for the
mistakes you made in the past then you can never move forward and learn from
those experiences. The main thing I got from the movie is if you want to get
anywhere in life always have a business card handy. Networking in my field is something that is
never ending being that I will most likely doing short term free-lance work and
always having to find my next bread and butter job. The movie to me means that
if you keep working hard and don’t give up on your dreams you can move forward
and grow as a person and possibly advance your career at the same time.
