The most challenging part of the job search is getting an interview. The only predictable way to get an interview is through networking, but “networking” is frustratingly vague advice. How do you network so that it leads to interviews?

In this two-hour workshop, Steve Dalton, the author of “The 2-Hour Job Search,” offers an exact process — rather than a series of tips — for effectively turning strangers into advocates, leading to more internal referrals and more job interviews. This session proposes an efficient alternative to hopelessly applying to online job postings. “The 2-Hour Job Search” turns networking into a finite and repeatable recipe to help job seekers harness free and simple technology to get the right job faster, and attendees will leave the session knowing exactly what they need to do next.

This event is a shared partnership between the Ross School of Business Career Development Office and the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan career program.
