JWorks Miami invites you to attend a FREE Networking Skills workshop on Thursday, June 21st, 10:30am-12:30 pm. ###

Please RSVP at JWorks Miami - RSVP is required! The workshop will begin promptly at 10:30am, so please arrive a few minutes prior and dress to impress! Business casual attire is recommended.

Networking Works! The idea is to develop a network of people who share information to help each other. It can be a useful strategy for opening the hidden job market, i.e. for getting a good job. Because many jobs are never advertised, it is essential that you develop friendly relationships with people who can tip you off to job openings and perhaps even introduce you to the person who is doing the hiring. There is some truth in, "It's not what you know, but who you know."

Join us for what promises to be a great workshop and learn how to build a network to achieve greater success in your job search and beyond!

* What is networking?
* How to craft an impactful elevator pitch
* Networking tips to expand your circle
* Hidden job market
* Infomation interview

These events are also a great way for JWorks Miami staff to get to know you! Please note, we are unable to refer you to available opportunities unless we have met you in person.

All events will be held at:
Greater Miami Jewish Federation
4200 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL 33137
Parking lot entrance is on Federal Highway, parallel to Biscayne Blvd. Map
