Networking 101

Everything I needed to know for the workforce I didn't learn in college. In fact, all that bologna went out the window my first day on the job. The one thing I wish I'd known more about: networking.

Suddenly, adamant discussions about your favorite bar aren't appropriate, and you're left wondering, "what's left to talk about?" Lots.

Networking 101: Conversation.
Prove yourself to be a credible, distinctive Public Relations professional so that you can be sure a new acquaintance isn't going to walk away with a mental note to avoid you at future functions.

It's a whole 'nother' ballgame.
