Getting "LinkedIn" Workshop
Nick Chavis will discuss the benefits of using LinkedIn for Job Search and Career Management. He will share how to use LinkedIn to be more effective in your daily work and show how to using it effectively may open doors to opportunities using the professional relationships you already may have. Whether conducting a current job search, or for ongoing career management and personal branding, Linkedin is a tool that can help everyone network more effectively and efficiently.
Leverage Communication and Building Lasting Professional Relationships through Networking
There are dividends through the Power of Networking! There are many professional networking options with conferences, associations, trade shows, seminars, technology-based meetings, technology communications methods, and the only way to get to know people is to get out there and meet them.
Learn how to leverage communication and build relationship momentum through the power of professional networking by attending this workshop, and hear our special speaker Jovita Jenkins! Networking is not about accumulating business cards, but yet in doing something with them. And what you do with those cards – how you continue your relationship with people you meet – dictates what those people begin to think of you.
You can think of this as building your brand with your network. Your contacts should know who you are, know what you do, and ultimately prefer to work with you in the appropriate situation. This is how you can build professional relationships that will yield career dividends!
