I'm going to let you into a little secret on how you can pick up real vacancies from networking events – most likely exclusive or retained.

Well, truth be told it won't be me, it's actually our next guest on the #MARShow – Kerry Swift. 

Kerry is one of those recruiters who attends networking events and comes away with vacancies, often exclusive or retained.

There's a knack to it, you know.

On the show, she shared the following: -

1. Which events to choose
2. How to build relationships with the right people 
3. How to get yourself noticed (and yes, that could mean doing a talk)
4. How to pick up vacancies
5. What else you can get from networking groups
6. Are virtual networking groups any good
7. How to overcome nerves and start mixing

This show is for those people who want another source of leads and feel networking events are largely a waste of time.

It is packed with practical tips and ideas ready for you to take and use.

Personally, I have never been a fan of so-called networking events. They always seemed a waste of time to me and I never got much from them.

Then Kerry shared her experiences in a recent online forum we were both in and she blew me away with her approach to them.
