Program: Network To Get a Job Quickly

Networking with people you already know can be the best, quickest way to make a career transition, says professional speaker, trainer and author Dave Sherman.

The free event will be held at the Weinberg Park Heights JCC, 5700 Park Heights Ave.

According to the release, Sherman will share tips, tools and techniques including:

• What's networking and why you need to do it
• Where to go, what to do and what to say to find a job fast
