Are you considering your career options and how to go about your search?
If you want to get a job today, you have to "show-up"...allowing yourself to be vulnerable by talking with other professionals including those you already know and those you don't. They can refer you to the right people for increasing your leads and

Think bigger...think about talking with hiring managers and decision-makers. They are waiting for someone in your network to refer you because you can offer value to their company.
Right now is an opportune time for "connection"---developing relationships and engaging in conversations that lead to new resources for your job advancement or job search.
