Networking

Networking is a big part of your career. That saying "It's not about what you know, but who you know" is about networking. Someone you meet today might be the same person that can offer you a job or a great reference for an opportunity tomorrow. Check out these tips and resources on networking.

Perfect your elevator pitch

Whether you’re interviewing for a new job, vying for a promotion or trying to build your network, it’s important to be able to present yourself in a succinct and professional way. That’s why it’s wise to develop an “elevator pitch,” a term used to describe a short and persuasive speech you can use to sell something during a 30-second elevator ride.

Build your professional brand

Having an identifiable “brand” helps position you for job and promotion opportunities, build a strong and effective network and even discover possible pathways you might want to pursue.
