Finding a new job or opportunities for career change can be done in many different ways. Expanding and using your personal network proves to be a goldmine for new opportunities if you know how to do it well.
The course focusses on how to expand your network and utilize your new contacts to help you in your job search or career change, without being pushy or needy.

The course also covers why some people don’t like networking and how you can overcome discomfort talking to strangers or highly influential people.
Many jobs are not publicly advertised, and by using your networking skills you can tap into the hidden market of potential jobs people in your network know about, and opportunities for you to step into a new career path.
The course offers networking skills, tips and insights both for in-person events, functions and corporate parties, as well as online networks such as LinkedIn.
