Why Networking Isn’t a Dirty Word and How to Do It Well, with Bob Gerst

If the thought of walking into a ballroom filled with hundreds of people makes you nervous, you’re not alone. But networking isn’t about the number of people you meet. Find Your Dream Job guest Bob Gerst reminds us that networking is a give and take relationship; not a Rolodex filled with names. Bob says quality networking doesn't just happen, it takes effort. And the more you do it, the easier it gets, so practice is key. Bob also shares how setting networking goals and doing prep work can make the process more beneficial for both parties.  About Our Guest: Bob Gerst (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobgerst/) is a human resources executive and a career coach who helps job changers find jobs quicker.
