SUMMARY:Simple Steps to Maximize Holiday Networking with Paul Cecala (Online)
DESCRIPTION:November and December are some of the best months to network\, personally and professionally! Typically\, people are in a more giving\, friendly mode. For many\, work is slowing down because of the many holidays or “Use them or lose them” vacation days. So\, there is time and a desire to help others. A friendly\, no-commitment conversation can often be just the distraction a hiring manager might be seeking. Plus\, you encounter so many more people through your socialization. \nIn this interactive workshop with Career Consultant Paul Cecala\, we will share our best practices for connecting with people\, greeting them\, and soliciting their professional assistance without seeming like we are asking for a job! Explore questions like: How do we make best use of our 10-\, 30-\, and 90-second introductions in conversations? What are our networking goals for the parties and events we attend? What can we offer/give to our network? What do we ask of our network? Participants come prepared to share your experiences and questions! \n📅  Tuesday October 27th\n🕙  10:00\n💻  On Zoom\, Sign Up Here!
