If you diligently follow job-hunting advice, you know that networking is one of the most successful employment search strategies. It is far more likely to land you a job than chasing job postings through the Web or sending a resume to a recruiter. Since networking is one of the most successful methods of job searching, you should definitely include business meetings, recruitment fairs, and other networking events as part of your landing strategy. However, when you attend networking events or business meetings, are you successful in promoting yourself? Are you unsure of the best ways to make a connection? Would you like to improve your networking technique? Do you want to leave networking events feeling that you really accomplished something? If you would like to get better at working the room, come hear Marty talk as he presents the basic tools you need to use to be productive at networking events.
