Next NSENG Meeting is Mon Nov 25th
6:15-8:30pm, Glenview Library (1930 Glenview Rd)
Keynote speaker on "Integrating Online & Offline Tools to Build Your Brand & Your Network" plus a round of networking
Your brand and your network are two of your most valuable assets during a job search. But it takes an integrated online and offline communications approach to fully leverage the power of each. Social media like LinkedIn can provide you with expansive "reach" but the human interactions are what deliver the credibility and the chemistry. When you combine both, your job search progress can accelerate quickly and during this meeting, author and sales coach, David Fisher, will present on his perspectives on "How to integrate online and offline tools to build your brand and your network".

Some of the topics that David will cover include:
  • Connecting your online activities to your offline goals
  • Building a clear, concise brand message across platforms
  • Developing communication cadences that keep you top-of-mind with your network and target companies
  • Finding ways to foster your offline relationships with online engagement
  • Leveraging LinkedIn to create engagement for job opportunities

Here's a bit of background about David
