***Virtual Event***
We’ve all heard the advice that networking is important for our careers. It really does take a village to have a successful career; people who provide you with information, connect you to others, help you get your job done, advocate for you, mentor, guide, and sponsor you. To create the type of network that supports your ambition, your efforts must be intentional and purposeful. In this Career Coffee discussion, we’ll explore creating a network of advocates that works for you including the creation of a personal board of advisors.
The Career Coffee series is free to Minnesota PRSA members. Register now!
