Product Breakfast Club (Virtual)

Topic: Professional Networking: Only Use It If You Want to 7x Your Odds of Being Hired

Time is everyone's most precious resource. Investing time in your professional network over the long term can pay dividends when it's time for your next career move. Referred candidates are 7x more likely to be hired than those applying through job boards, according to an analysis of 4.5 million applications by Pinpoint.

In this session, we’ll discuss how to build your PDMA Chicago network and leverage it, whether you’re chasing a public job posting or angling for an unlisted opportunity with a target employer. We'll explore practical, low-friction strategies to boost your visibility and credibility without sounding too transactional.

Breakfast Club is virtual. Put on your favorite robe and grab a cup of joe. It's a good time to share your experiences and learn from other product people.

Agenda:
7:50 - 8:10am: Join, Network, Introductions, and Announcements
8:10 - 9:00am: Discussion of the monthly topic
9:00 - 9:15am: Wrap-up/network

The Breakfast Club, which meets the first Friday of every month, is an informal gathering of product people interested in talking/learning about product development and networking with other product development professionals. You do not need to be a registered member of the PDMA to participate and there is no cost. Just RSVP and join the conversation. Log on/off anytime.
