Join us for this FREE workshop and discover how to tap into the “hidden
job market” through effective networking. You will learn all the ways
you can add to your current contacts, and why it’s so important to your
job search.
Endlessly scanning job postings on the Internet will get you nowhere if
you don’t know how to reach out to people. Did you know that many great
jobs are never publically advertised? They get filled before any
advertising is needed through the employer’s personal contacts and who
they recommend. Your goal is to become one of those recommended people,
and networking is the best method.

teach you how to overcome your discomfort about networking, and share
tips for introverts who might otherwise shy away from this valuable
technique. Learn how to increase your contacts, network with your fellow
participants, and get personalized answers to your questions.

accomplishments, or what employers are really trying to uncover about
you through their questions? By preparing for these ahead of time, you
will not only ease some of your nerves, but also develop a winning
approach to speaking about yourself and answering those tricky questions.
Professional career counselors Simona Cherlin and Janet McAfee will
teach you how to calm the butterflies and be prepared to “wow” your
interviewer. Gain an edge by learning how to increase your chances of
being called back for a second interview, or better yet, being offered
the job! Come and get a little practice in answering some of the tough
questions, network with your fellow participants, and receive
