Short-term networking
This is where "networking" gets a bad reputation: you introduce yourself to someone new for only one purpose--you need them for a job, an investment, or a sale. Short-term networking makes you look desperate.
Try to follow this rule: no 'asks' for a year. For example, let's say you meet a person who is well-known in the field in which you want to build a career. In your first email exchanges or conversations, you should avoid making an ask of any kind. Sometimes, in the short term, aggressive maneuvers work: people fold and say yes in the moment. But in the long run, it never does.
