It's been said time and again that networking is the most effective path to a new job, but all too often those networks lack the breadth and depth to see you through a job search at the higher levels.

Spend an hour with job search expert Martin Yate to turn a weakness into strength, and develop resilient networks that will enhance your professional buoyancy throughout this job search and the rest of your career.

You'll learn how to build, and harvest from any of the 9-12 different types of networks that could be relevant to your situation; how to structure your networking calls, and what to say on the phone or in an email that builds relationships and gets referrals.
