    "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take" is the quote that came to mind as I watched the first half. Even if you try but fail, you can still learn something. Compare that to doing nothing and learning nothing. As for networking, yeah, it's best to do it from a place of strength -- when you don't really need it. I mean, imagine mustering up the energy and patience to network when you desperately need a job next month. Thank you both for doing this!
