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.

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.
