Most jobs and other game-changing career opportunities are not advertised, and even if they are, there is usually a short-list of candidates already in mind. So how do you find out about and access the 90% of jobs and other opportunities that are “hidden”? In this workshop, we will focus on proven networking strategies and tactics to identify new opportunities, locate decision-mak- ers within organizations, solidify your reputation and brand in the minds of those who hire, and gain access to hidden jobs and game-changing opportunities. Discover how networking and self-promotion can enable you to land or even create your dream job from scratch! CID Committee Meeting 8:30 am - 10:30 am, Room 30D
