Networking Without the Awkwardness

This session is part of Stronger Minds at Work, a weekly online learning series that helps professionals strengthen their job search, career strategy, confidence, and resilience as their work and careers change.

Does networking feel awkward, artificial, or inauthentic?

Do you avoid informational interviews because they feel uncomfortable?

What if networking could become more natural, more useful, and even more interesting?

Join us for a practical lunchtime workshop on how to approach networking in a way that feels more genuine and less stressful.

In this interactive session, you will learn:
✅ How to feel more comfortable with the idea of networking
✅ How to build meaningful professional relationships
✅ How to make networking conversations more natural
✅ How curiosity can make networking easier
✅ How networking can support your job search and career change

A Q&A follows the short feature presentation. Tell us where you are stuck in any aspect of your job search, and we will try to answer your questions.

Join us for this interactive and supportive online session.

This event is offered free of charge. A $20 contribution is encouraged. 50% helps cover the cost of this workshop series, and 50% will support Art Fair Hamilton, a major annual celebration of contemporary art, artists, and cultural connection in Hamilton. Career Aviators is pleased to support this important local arts initiative.
