How to Network When You Don’t Like It – Employer Panel Discussion
Professional networking is never easy and for some of you it is not an enjoyable process. It is also become a lost art of sorts in recent years as much of our society has had to go virtual due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Networking though is one of the more important skills to have in your professional tool-kit. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 85% of jobs are filled via networking. This discussion will tell you about how to excel at networking, how to get comfortable and how it will help you in your professional journey. Register today for How to Network When You Don’t Like It!
