Networking: Uncover the Hidden Job Market

Networking: Uncover the Hidden Job Market

Studies show that resumes and job applications submitted online are often overlooked by employers. So why do most job seekers spend countless unproductive hours behind their phones and laptops applying for jobs? The answer is because they fail to recognize the critical role that networking plays in a successful job search. Attend this webinar to change the way you job search and land a job you love! We will explore how to:

  • Tap into your existing network and build connections
  • Expand your network and create new connections
  • Communicate effectively so that your efforts result in meetings and interviews
  • Leverage LinkedIn to build your network and explore companies and jobs
  • Engage in other ways to develop professional relationships that lead to opportunities
  • Make networking a natural part of what you do, not just for the purpose of finding a job
