Humans are social animals.

Most of us like to develop and maintain relationships. 

However, when we talk about relationship building in a job search context or business context and start to call it networking, people often get uncomfortable.

In this session, Andrew McCallum, Career Reboot Group facilitator and HR professional, will show you that networking doesn’t have to be stressful and will lead you through a series of practical exercises to help networking feel more natural.
