gary- when are you having us over for cocktails??
Its cool to network on here. There are so many people in this community now that it is silly not to. We should come up with some sort of section to the st pete area forum that members could list their "trade" or company and their contact info if they're interested in networking.
When people are thinking about a new job, etc. its really easy networking if you know who's in your industry. I recently had a job lead due to two kiting friends who knew I was in financial services passing my resume on to some contacts. Job didn't work out, but it never hurts to know someone. Any thoughts?
