As part of our regular process at Network For Work™ we like to recognize and celebrate the successful career landings of our members.
Members post their landing stories in their own words, sharing what worked for them in this market, what didn't and what words of advice they have for other members.
At each event we allocate a portion of the agenda to new career landings. Members are able to share their stories in person and we celebrate their successes with them.
We hope you will join us if you haven't already. We know we can help you in your search and we can't wait to hear your successful landing story!
Are you a Network For Work™ member who has landed? You can send your story to: getwork@networkforwork.com and see it featured here. If you want to share the news with everyone, please include brief details of your new roles, lessons you learned in the search (what worked and what didn't) and any other information that would help others still in their search.
By forwarding your story, you understand and agree to your story may be posted on the Network For Work™ career landings pages, in our LinkedIn Group, and in our Networking Newsletter. Good news spreads fast, but it needs all the help it can get!
