Find out how to maximize your effectiveness and establish your competitive edge in the new channels that are available. Increase your knowledge of what hiring organizations are looking for in today’s job candidates.

Effective Networking at Conferences and Meetings

The role of networking in career transitions has never been more critical than now. Learn tips and techniques that you can apply at the SLA Conference or other meetings for building your professional network as a foundation of your career management strategy.
