etworking is an important job-search tool, and everyone seeking employment in Northern Indiana should take a serious view of building your own professional network.

At its core, networking centers on building profes- sional relationships through conversations. In this light, when you are engaged in networking, you also are strengtheing your interpersonal commun- ication skills, which everyone should continue to focus on during their careers.

WORKSHOP GIVES DIRECTION 
To Your Job Search & Network
This WorkOne Northern Indiana workshop can give you direction in your efforts to cobble together a professional network of contacts.

An important element of the overall job-search pro- cess, which involves several phases, is networking, which simply means building professional relation- ships (through conversation and emails) with individuals who might have knowledge of the "hidden" job market — that is, openings that employers haven't yet announced or, in some cases, positions that never are advertised prior to being filled by the employer.
