It may be your <em>message</em> if you are so focused on saying the "right" things that you aren't really talking about what's important to you. Or, it may be your <em>appearance</em> if you are wearing clothes that aren't truly representative of who you are. Or, it may be that you are in the <em>wrong networking group</em> . . . again trying to be someone you are not. Feeling fake typically means that you aren't bringing the <em>real</em> you to the table.

Often I hear things like, it so fake feeling or I don't know what to talk about. Small talk and geting down to the facts of wantig to get a suitable job can be challenging for the shy and introverted. Any idea how to move past the "wall flower" stage? Tamara,

I know they have been around a while, however, I have not been interested until recently as a form of meeting people. I am encouraging the job seekers attending a support group called New Destinations at People House to become networkers for securing employment. In researching MeetUp Groups I discovered groups for every interest under the sun. Can you comment on the effectivness of these groups?
