Your Road Map to Successful Networking

Do you have the networking skills you need? Only 7% of all jobs are found on-line, so why spin your wheels only focusing on emailing hundreds of resumes? It would be smart to focus a greater time on your people contacts – that's where 70% of all jobs are found.

Networking is like a Swiss Army Knife. It can help you do lots of different things. It will help you connect to people in employment opportunities, help you find job openings, help you actually get a job, get up to speed in a new job fast, get more out of conferences and meetings, get known in a new field when you change careers, and get projects up and running.

Lynne Waymon Is a career coach, speaker, trainer, and author who specializes in helping people put the tools of networking to work in the service of career and business goals. Her experience working with people in many different jobs and settings led her to identify The 8 Networking Competencies that all of her programs are based on. She's the originator of The Networking Competency Assessment, an on-line, 30-item instrument that will help you see which skills you've mastered and which to give attention to next. And your Career Successions package includes this assessment at no-cost!
