Networking is often misunderstood as merely exchanging business cards or making cold calls. In this workshop, we’ll explore the true meaning of networking: building authentic, lasting relationships that can mutually benefit both parties. We’ll discuss effective strategies for connecting with others, how to leverage your existing network, and what to avoid when forming professional relationships. By the end of the session, you'll gain a clearer understanding of networking as a two-way street for personal and professional growth.
These Tuesday sessions, organized and ran by Westport Library Career Coach Tarin Evans, offer a blend of career development workshops and professional networking opportunities designed to enhance your job search and career growth. Each week, we’ll offer a focused workshop on a specific career topic. These workshops cover various aspects of job searching, professional development, and skill-building, including goal setting, salary negotiation, interview strategies, and utilizing technology in the job market. These sessions are interactive and provide actionable advice.
Location for Tuesday workshop sessions will vary; please confirm with the Library reference desk upon arrival.
