Networking is a critical component of the job search and finding your ideal next best life. Ultimately, it’s about building professional relationships that not only will aid your search for that next position, but also will facilitate growth throughout your career.

These upcoming MOAA events will help you hone your networking skills and allow you to make new connections, either virtually or in person. Want more? Check out our networking and social media resources.

Sept. 13: MOAA Virtual Career Fair

Although networking is great in the face-to-face format, it also works especially well in virtual environments, whether in a virtual call or at a virtual career fair.

MOAA’s upcoming event offers the chance to connect with employers looking to hire – you’ll be able to talk 1-on-1 with these representatives via video chat, including the potential for on-the-spot interviews.
