In-Person Networking & The Power of Tufts' Career Network

If you're looking to enhance your professional presence, you may believe that making connections online (vs. in-person) is easier and less burdensome for all involved.  However, the advantages of a face-to-face meeting – really getting to know someone through being in their presence - can be remarkably more fruitful.  Whether you’re planning to attend a networking event, or you simply want to be prepared for a spontaneous conversation in the elevator, there are best practices to consider in advance of in-person networking.   During this webinar we’ll:

• provide an overview of networking, focusing on in-person networking opportunities
• discuss why networking is a useful tool for everyone, not just those in the job search, and debunk myths about networking
• offer strategies for preparation and practice for different types of in-person networking, including the best questions to ask
• review resources available to Tufts alumni, including career networking events in major cities and events sponsored by Tufts' shared interest groups
• present an opportunity for you to participate in Q&A

Presenters:

• Alyssa Gelbard, A92, Executive Career Consultant and Founder & President of Point Road Group
• Nicole M. Anderson, Associate Director, Tufts Alumni Career Services
