The rule

A person should approach networking conversations with a goal to learn.

The person should not try to sell their skills or ideas. This method helps the person gather information and build real connections.

A person can treat networking like a research project. The person's main goal is to learn from others. This approach removes the pressure to promote oneself. It makes conversations more natural and enjoyable. People like to share their experiences and knowledge.

A student attends a career fair. Instead of giving out resumes, the student asks professionals about their daily work. The student asks about challenges they faced and how they solved them. This helps the student understand different jobs better. It also creates a good impression with the professionals.
