Apart from anything else, it makes you feel proactive; and then when you DO land a job in your industry, you realise that you have all sorts of great industry-related contacts thanks to the networking (which makes you incredibly valuable to an employer).

It's true that networking can be a bit awkward, but it does get easier as you do it more. Also, good point about these being people, not just contacts! If you're going to form a relationship with someone it has to go both ways so return the favor! This is great advice.
