The Art of Networking In-person & Online
·OnlineOnlineRegister for Zoom at https://greatcareers.org/events-calendar/the-art-of-networking-in-person-online/
Does the act of networking elude you? Don’t know what to do, say, think, or discuss? Don’t worry, as you’re not alone. Like anything else, networking takes practice, whether introverted, extroverted, or somewhere in between. It also involves some know-how.
Aside from some networking tips for face-to-face engagements, the “online” networking tips will focus on LinkedIn.
- Discover how to find your target companies
- Learn tips and best practices for business & networking cards
- Know how to reach out to “strangers” for informational interviews
- Create an action plan to win in the hidden job market
- Track your connections and conversations

GUEST RECRUITER
Robyn Grable is the Founder and President of The ASCEND Collective®, a 501c(3) nonprofit dedicated to advocating for and empowering underserved talent communities through education, support, and inclusive opportunity. From veterans and military spouses to individuals with diverse abilities and second-chance candidates, Robyn’s work centers on dismantling systemic barriers and building pathways to meaningful employment.
As the creator of Talents ASCEND®, Robyn pioneered the use of AI-powered, skills-based talent matching—technology that still powers the workforce connections behind the scenes. With a unique, deep human perspective, she understands the antiquated processes, the stigma, and, most importantly, the potential in people that is too often overlooked.
Today her focus is on amplifying advocacy and driving action through The ASCEND Collective, ensuring that individuals are judged for where they’ve been, but valued for what they’re capable of contributing.
A U.S. Navy veteran with over 30 years in human capital strategy, Robyn is a recognized speaker, author, and award-winning advocate. Her superpower is turning obstacles into opportunity, helping employers reimagine hiring, and helping talent reclaim their place in the workforce.
Through The ASCEND Collective, Robyn champions a future where inclusive hiring isn’t just a label, it’s a standard. It’s a path to dignity, purpose, and community transformation. A world where every individual has the support they need, to truly ASCEND.
We are Working to Make a Difference.
