Have Any Good Networking Anecdotes?

Hey all,

Now that we've all had the opportunity to take advantage of the networking techniques and tips we've been offered on the blog and during workshops, does anyone have any positive networking stories they'd like to share?

Any bold moves pay off?

Any chance encounters lead to an interview?

How about a story about plain, old hard work?

Share any networking stories with us. We'd love to hear them!
