Putting yourself outside of your comfort zone can be scary, and a dreaded part of the job search process. However, talking to 'strangers', or professionals in your field, is a necessary step to landing a job. What is a 'professional relationship'? This question, along with how to find these people in the virtual space, build a professional network in preparation for recruiting, and what to actually talk to them about will be answered in ECD's upcoming workshop. This workshop will be facilitated by Erik J. Friedman, ECD Assistant Dean.
