Networking is a thing that creeps slowly as you work well, but falls apart fast when you do poorly. My involvement in FIRST led eventually to me working at a regional level, and getting introductions to people in business from our regional director. Getting in the door is the hardest part of finding a job, at least in my experience, and those introductions created some amazing opportunities. It is great to have some choices.
That said, having moved to London from Virginia, there is a limit to how useful those introductions are.
Stick me in the pile of "upcoming college grad who is looking for his first job and hasn't had any luck with the standard job search process"
