MODULE 3:  CREATING LEADS AND NETWORKING

Creating Leads and Networking

Networking is the single most effective technique for developing job leads. Even if you realize the importance of networking, it can seem difficult to do at all and impossible to do well. We will take you through a step-by-step process of how to network effectively! We will also address alternative ways of finding a job, including online job boards, working with recruiters, and other approaches.

We’ll show you how to create leads, conduct research using online social media tools such as LinkedIn, and engage in networking that works for you. Most of all, we’ll help you learn how to make networking fun and how to continue to do it after you’ve landed your next job.
