Networking Skills and Introductions
Did you know that 65-70% of jobs are found through WHO you know? That proves the old saying It’s not WHAT you know, it really is WHO you know!
I decided to test this theory so I made a list of the 15 jobs I’ve had throughout my career and 13 of them were not acquired through a job advertisement. Mind blown!

It’s like taking a Marketing 101 class for YOU. You learn how to talk about yourself, how to keep the conversation going and how to make a good impression. You got this!
