People form impressions of you every day, often based on your non-verbal communication (sometimes referred to as body language). Non-verbal communication plays a key role in your success in life – not only during your job search, but in everyday encounters. So, whether you’re networking, interviewing, at a social gathering, or just standing in line, non-verbal communication can speak volumes. Learn how to express your interest in others from the moment you meet to the end of your conversation.
Facilitated by Robyn Winters, TBJL Career Strategist

WHAT IS LINKS:  LINKS is an acronym for Leads, Information, Networking, Know-how, and Strategies. It is an educational and motivational program designed to help candidates prepare for the week ahead and to share conversation, contacts, and job-search information in a relaxed, friendly environment. For the unemployed professional, LINKS is a “place to go” to focus on the job search when others go to work on Monday Mornings. LINKS sessions are free and open to the public. Reservations are required.
