  • How to build and leverage a professional network

  • Creative approaches to job searching that set you apart

  • Tactics for reaching out to professionals and getting responses

  • Ways to tailor your approach to specific roles and industries

Ideal for: Graduating students and emerging professionals who want to level up their job search strategy and stand out in a crowded market.
