How can you gain information and advice from insiders about the culture, business and expectations of a prospective employer? How can you develop and mobilize a support group that brings you referrals? Studies on effective networking strategies and accounts from several successful job seekers at The University of Arizona have shown that contacts and networking are more productive than the traditional job-hunt.
In this workshop you will learn how to build a network of contacts to assist you with identifying new career opportunities and becoming more successful in your current job. You will be introduced to strategies for connecting to the University community as a whole and not just to your respective department. Take-aways include several models/tools to use for growing and managing contacts, testimonials from successful University employees and an extensive list of resources that can aide you further hone your networking skills.
