Career Development Spotlight: How to Make the Most of Holiday Networking
The holidays are filled with family gatherings, seeing old friends, and the dreaded question: "How is your job going?". For others, the dreaded question may be: "What do you intend to do with _____?". This can be a time of anxiety, but it can also be a time for some great networking.
Attend the Career Center's webinar on Wednesday, November 18 from 12-1 p.m. for advice on handling these situations.
We will discuss how to focus your responses to these tough questions, how to communicate how others might help you, and how to connect with your existing network of family and friends to network your way into a new opportunity. Join over your lunch break to hear some great tips! Click here to register.
