Presented by Nancy T. Nguyen, MBA, Author, The Networking Diary 

Why network? It is the most powerful way to build professional relationships, actively foster contacts and disseminate information. In 1994 it was estimated that the average person would change jobs 10.3 times during their life. In the year 2000, the average person would have three to five different career changes. Statistics from the Federal Bureau of Labor indicate that 70 percent of all jobs are found through networking. But you can't take advantage of that unless you stay in contact with your network. This is the main reason to have a network. So how do you build and maintain a network? 

Attend this informative workshop presented by Nancy T. Nguyen, the Author of The Networking Diary. You will learn secrets to get an edge when networking to expand your network and make the right connections for career advancement. The 7 Networking Diary Principles can help students and professionals help grow his/her network.
