FREE JOB SEARCH WORKSHOP: Networking Without Asking for a Job
August 18 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Think networking means asking someone to help you get hired?
Think again.
The most successful networkers aren’t asking for jobs—they’re building relationships, gathering information, and learning from people who have valuable experience.

• Ask thoughtful questions that encourage meaningful conversations.
• Discover valuable networking contacts already within your personal and professional circles.
• Personalize your outreach to build authentic relationships.

You’ll also learn the Three Do’s and Three Don’ts of Networking.
DO:
• Be courteous and respectful.
• Keep your requests specific and low-pressure.
• Follow up with genuine gratitude.
DON’T:
• Ask for a job in your first message.
• Overshare personal stress or frustrations.
• Disappear after someone has helped you.
Through interactive exercises and real-world scenarios, you’ll practice networking strategies that help you build trust, expand your professional network, and create opportunities for future career success.
