SUMMARY:Networking: It's Not Just About the Job
DESCRIPTION:Networking [ net-wur-king ] Phonetic (Standard) IPA noun\na supportive system of sharing information and services among individuals and groups having a common interest. (Dictionary.com) \nNetworking is a two-way street. It is about building relationships that can ultimately benefit both parties. An introduction you make may not produce an immediate return for you\, but down the line\, the person you helped might send your business\, or remember you when an interesting job comes up. Conversely\, when a connection you have made provides you with a benefit\, you should plan to return the favor when you can. Networking is not just about finding a job; it’s about building a professional community. In this workshop\, learn more about what networking is\, what it isn’t (or shouldn’t be)\, and how to do it.
