Networking Naturally Program -- "Less Stress, More Joy, and Better Results" Teleseminar Series (2009)

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that 70% of all jobs are found through networking. The NAA will present three teleseminars to help job-seeking alums take the stress out of networking and get better results.

Carol Ross (McC83, 87), career coach, social entrepreneur, and founder of Carol Ross and Associates, LLC, will lead discussions on how to create and nurture the connections needed to thrive in hard times.

Participants will also have the opportunity to network online with alumni from NU and other universities through an event-exclusive site.
