2024 BN360: Networking for Task Focused People
Tuesday, February 27, 2024 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EST)
Description
Networking for Task-Focused People
Do you want to be more comfortable at networking events?
Do you want to brush up on your networking skills after the isolation of the past few years?
According to CNBC, "up to 70% of all jobs are not published on publicly available job search sites, and research has long shown that anywhere from half to upwards of 80% of jobs are filled through networking."
This 45-minute interactive session will give you tips for planning, attending, and following up on business-related events. There will also be time for questions during the last 15 minutes of our hour together.
