While I am one for networking, even more so here in the Asian region dealing with locals, I agree that to some extent it can be a waste of time particularly when it comes to hiring in foreign companies. I've found the expats in my industry to be too transitory to really know the region and lack the clout to be decision makers. I'm sure others will come on and tell me contrary but that unfortunately has been my experience to date.
