Time and Money. The name of the game.

Herb\u2019s got the secret recipe to evaluating offers and negotiating salary, and he\u2019s ready to share it with us.

More than 80% of jobs today are being filled via networking. Not blind online job applications. Not by simply getting a degree and saying \u2018come find me.\u2019 It\u2019s networking. So, let\u2019s define it. What is networking? Around here, we like to say it\u2019s a fancy word for relationships. We all have relationships \u2013 family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances. So, why don\u2019t we leverage those relationships to help us in our careers? Yes, why don\u2019t we, indeed. During this Certified Career Speaker event, alumni and active recruiter Brandon Barrett \u201909 (MBA\u201917) will share how he has strategically used existing and developed new networks to benefit his short and long-term career goals\u2026. and of course, how we can do so as well.<\/p>\n
