Networking for Success
Sponsored by Morgan Stanley
Finding the right job can be daunting. Thousands of people may reply to a single job ad; the competition can be fierce. It's easy to get frustrated when you've answered scores of postings for which you feel qualified and received little or no response.
In today's job market, you must know what, where and to whom you are selling and target your proactive strategy - and your pitch - to the right audience: namely the people in a position to hire you.
Networking plays an enormous role in an effective proactive job search. Studies have shown that between 50 and 75% of all jobs are found through networking - and that number rises with the seniority of the job!

- Learn how to avoid the most common networking trap
- Learn the lynchpin to effective networking
- Begin creating a powerful, diversified personal networking plan
Don't miss this opportunity to gain new skills and develop tools that will be useful throughout the rest of your career!
