I did not mean to imply that I LITERALLY just collected business cards and spoke to no one. Of course, doing so at recruiting events would be absurd.

So, I don't think it's a common misunderstanding. I think it's common sense that you're supposed to speak to the recruiters and build your network.

Ah! In that case, sorry to hear you had such a hard time! If you talked to recruiters with enthusiasm and gave them your name/resume, I think you did the right thing.
