Join us for an insightful online event where Lauren Celano, CEO of Propel Careers, will share valuable tips on how to develop and engage your network so that you are not doing your job search alone.

This talk will provide advice for how to engage (and develop if needed) your network during a job search. This talk will provide advice for how to identify events and organizations relevant to your interests so that you can build your network. We will provide advice for how to leverage LinkedIn to identify people you can reachout to. We will also provide advice for how to reach out to your network for insights about organizations and roles, what to say when you reachout, how to engage in informational interviews, and how to prioritize who to reachout out to. This talk will provide advice to empower your network to help you throughout your search so that you are not doing this alone.
