Networking, I've noticed, is a personality type. You either have it. Or can't. At any rate, I suppose it can't be learnt (only honed), at major-league business, or law schools. This is where many hope to study.

Only so networking becomes natural, by dint of knowing people (classmates), who will inevitably know other people, at a workplace — once they graduate to major-league companies — creating a web of contacts/relationships that makes doing business a whole lot easier for the assured insider. Most fancy-designations in business, I reckon, essentially involve brokering (deals).
