Show Notes

In this week's episode, Dan and I talked about networking or as I like to say relationship building.  How to do it in a way that's authentic to you, the benefits in your job search and beyond and how it doesn’t have to be at happy hour or swapping of business cards.  We’ve talked a lot in the past episodes about networking because relationship building is one the most valuable resources you will have throughout your career.  You should be leveraging and strengthening those relationships even when you aren’t looking for a new job, role or career, who knows, you may be in a position to help someone else when they are looking for a new job or someone to hire.  We have some great tips, tricks and actionable steps for you!
