What is networking all about? What do I say to make conversation with a stranger? How can I approach new contacts and make progress in my career? Networking is an essential skill to developing your career and searching for a new job, but many people struggle with putting themselves out there authentically and being able to create a genuine connection with people. In this free workshop, Career Coach Connie Ma will guide you through the three steps of networking effectively and enjoying yourself at the same time: asking questions, listening actively, and sharing about yourself. Join us, and start feeling more confident, resourceful, and excited about your next networking encounter!
