Networking

Perhaps you’ve been sitting around the office and have overheard gossip claiming that one of the managers is “sleeping her way up the corporate ladder” or “just using so and so to get a promotion.” Sometimes this is simply office gossip and people are jealous of quick promotions so they look for an excuse other the simple fact that this woman has been working hard. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s true.

More and more often, I’m seeing networking events being held during Happy Hours. It makes sense. Technically, it’s still after work hours, but you can go straight after work and not have it run too late into your personal life. These relaxed settings can be the perfect way to meet new leads and potential new employers.
