what it is you want to happen as a result of being here? It is OK to set general long-term goals, but
short-term goals must be specific. Once you have specific goals,

it. We establish these connections by meeting,
mingling and communicating. When it comes to networking good things
do not come to those who wait, good things come to those who initiate. Networking to Position Yourself as an
