Networking in Tech

It’s been a turbulent year for the tech industry. Between layoffs and tightened budgets, candidates seeking tech positions face fierce competition. Wondering how you can stand out among the many applicants for tech roles? We're here to help. Throughout the next two months, we’ll be hosting events to help with resume writing, networking, and salary negotiating on Meetup Live.

We’re continuing our series with a lesson on networking. Join Meetup Live with Robin Hunt, co-founder of ThinkData Solutions and LinkedIn Learning course instructor to learn how to shine among strangers (even if you’re shy!) and make contacts that will benefit you for years to come. You’ll hear advice on how to craft an effective introduction for all occasions, how to leverage body language to put your best foot forward, and how to spot the exits in a conversation. Stick around for the Q&A.

Meetup would like to help the members of our community who have been affected by tech layoffs. Learn more about Meetup’s career resources including a free two-month Member+ subscription.

Agenda:

• Introduction (5 mins)
• Presentation (40 mins)
• Q&A session (15 mins)
