December Job Fairs - Holidays are for Merriment and Networking

The holidays are here! What better time to network with friends and families as you gather for holiday parties and fun!

A recent survey by Linkedin showed that 85 percent of respondents secured their current job through networking. Similar surveys have had similar results. The lesson: if you need a job, talk to others!

The holidays are a great way for even the most reserved of personalities to make the rounds. Parties are lively and plentiful. Friends may have extra invites to corporate parties and there are lots of contacts to be made even the at the elementary school holiday play. 

The U.S. Chamber Foundation will continue to host military and spouse only job fairs through mid-December with the help of Hiring Our Heroes foundation. The job fairs will pick up again after the new year.

Enjoy the holidays and make a new friend. You never know where that connection might lead you in 2017!
