Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Elegant Networking for job searching managers”.

With the changes on the job market, experienced managers and executives don’t have the luxury of “skipping” networking entirely. You have to do it. Professionally. Elegantly. Systematically.
