SUMMARY:NETWORKING FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT: TIPS FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND FEDERAL JOB SEEKERS
DESCRIPTION:Having a strong network can mean the difference between being offered your dream job and continuing to remain invisible when upward opportunities arise. So why don’t most government employees effectively leverage their network to advance in their careers? It’s because they believe that networking is too hard\, not their style\, not moral/ethical\, or a host of other false beliefs. But\, you don’t have to be like most people. \nDuring this workshop\, Alex D. Tremble will share his proven strategies to help both federal employees and those seeking careers in the federal government to: \n1. Overcome your fear of networking. \n2. Identify where and how to focus your networking efforts in the federal space. \n3. Choose specific behaviors to implement that will lead you to enjoying a more influential network.
