Brand Yourself

Have you ever noticed that New York sort-of resembles the word network? Take away the space and substitute a couple letters and there you have it, network. Really, that is what this city is all about. New Yorkers take networking very seriously. Some call it social climbing, but when you're a social butterfly you can't help but meet all the people around you, aka: networking.

I found out through a friend-of-a-friend about this conference/seminar for those of us in the unemployment boat, or those who are looking to change careers. Now I know sometimes these things can be cheesy, but this one might be worth while. New York Magazine is writing about it, so it must be legit.

We live in the city that never sleeps; therefore we shouldn't sleep away our unemployment. Now that the weather is getting nice, I am awakening from my winter hibernation and going out as much as possible. Think of all the people I haven't met! You just never know who you are going to meet and what doors they can open for you. GO OUT!! It's not like we have to wake up early the next day.

You are your biggest spokesperson. Be a PR star - for yourself!
