YP Professional Development Class
Sponsored by Kaiser Permanente
Networking is essential to the business world and the job market. Most people find their jobs through networking, and many sales and business leads happen because of networking. According to HubSpot, 85% of jobs are filled through networking. In fact, according to CNBC, 70% of jobs are never published publicly.
Despite all these benefits, why do we hate it so much? The boring small talk, the crowded bars, the name tags that don't stick! UGH! Or, maybe you’re an introvert who finds networking events absolutely draining?
Join this Professional Development Class with special guest speaker Marie Kumabe to learn how important networking is for your career and tips on how to be better at it.
Registration includes Breakfast Combo including coffee, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit bowl, bacon and breakfast potatoes.
