The Personal & Professional Pursuit of Excellence Symposium: The Skills and Tools you Need to Effectively Network by Jill Schoenhofer!

In todays world of ubiquitous interconnectivity media, social networking has become a staple in our everyday lives. Yet so many of us fail to leverage our networks and use them to their full potential. We can all admit there have been countless times since completing our educational or vocational curricula, we've heard that in order to take the next step in your career you need to network and that is crucial to your success.

How many of you have been told specifically how to network?

How often are we simply sent off on our own with advice that initially sounds helpful, but we lack the tools or skills to competently achieve the aim?
