Gatherings

This time of year there are many gatherings. Parties if you want. Now is not the time to stay away from them. Natural tendencies are embarrassment and not wanting to talk with friends because they might ask what you are up to or have you found a "job" yet. They care and sometimes just don't know how to ask or are fearful it could be them next.

Get out there and accept as many invitations as you can and are comfortable with. Go to local networking events, practice your elevator speech. Take your contact cards and be lining up meetings through the month. Stay busy and help others, you have a lot to offer.

Remember that events seem to change when we change.
