Topic: Relationship Building to Advance Your Career
Description
One of the keys to success in advancing your career is relationship building. When you participate
in activities in and out of the office and in networking groups, you meet many people from
different industries and different job functions. How do you build relationships with these people
so they can help you advance your career? Join us for a workshop where you will see how YOU can
build these relationships.
You learn what it takes to turn a "cold contact" into a "warm referral" and many essential networking/job search tips.
