Notworking: 10 Inappropriate Places to Expand Your Network

Author: Elana Lyn Gross

1. A funeral/wake/shiva call: Passing out your business card at one would be almost as bad as trying to pick up women at one à la Wedding Crashers. 

2.  Your jail cell.

3. The ER:  “I’m sorry about your bullet wound.  Also, can I give you my card?“

4. The bathroom.

5. A Sci Fi Convention.

6. The Jersey Shore house.

7. Briss or Baptism: “It’s been real guys.  Can I give you my card now?“

8. Vamps at Sea. Yes. It exists.

9. Mandatory Community Service.

10. Anywhere when you are with Lindsay Lohan.
