Setting up a small holiday networking event can be an excellent way to expand your network and build your professional credibility. Invite up to 10 to a lunch as an opportunity to network with others in their same field in order to expand their own networks, exchange ideas, and gain new insight into how other companies tackle various
issues.
Recruiter Harry Urschel shares how to set up this kind of holiday event, how to choose and invite attendees, how to benefit, and how to make it affordable.

Having a LinkedIn profile that is visible and being appropriately active on LinkedIn are essential. Social media expert Arnie Fertig explains how to become effectively visible to recruiters on LinkedIn.
