"I'm mainly here to petwork"

'Very impressive educational background...now let's discuss WHO you know.!

Networking

'Gosh, really? You've never been on any reality show at all?'

Glass Ceiling

"I don't think the guy with the business-card cannon has ever been to an actual networking event,"

"Events seem to be headed in the right direction. Unfortunately, it's not taking me with it."

'I saw it as a networking opportunity.'

'We can't find a pond small enough where you'd be a big fish.'

"Nowadays, it's all about who you know, not what you know."

'No hostile takeover bids beyond this point.'

Big Talk/Small Talk.

"I figure if I don't have that third martini, then the terrorists win."

"I know - it takes skill to sneak a peek at their tiny tags when you can't remember their names."

"You've got to blurb me to her."

Economic Conference.

"Your CV is amazing. The boss would love you. So unfortunately you've been unsuccessful in your application."

All day I design high tech communication devices...yet at a party I'm lost without name tags.

'I gained many useful leads, renewed relationships with various potential customers and established a number of contacts...'

"That's my performance review!? Two thumbs up?"
