Presents:Alex Freund is
speaking on the topic of: Networking Leading to Interviews. How do you leverage your network to get that
interview that you want? The meeting is Saturday,

Networking Leading to Interviews
Sixty to eighty percent of people get their job via networking.
Yet, for some networking is very challenging. Others do it, somewhat
reluctantly and not very effectively. This presentation will help the audience
improve on their networking skills. Do you know what conditions should
one create that lend themselves to bonding and sharing? The endgame is to get
referrals. We will share a simple script which you can start using
immediately. You will learn five easy steps to follow in order to get high-level
contacts. By understanding the divergent vantage points of the candidate
vis-à-vis the hiring manager you can better prepare for this demanding
interaction called interview.

you leverage your network to get that interview that you want?
