What do you do when you are 50 years old and find yourself furloughed and out of a job? If this has happened to you, know you are not alone.

While we know networking is a great way to find a new job, what can you do to warm up those professional relationships so they can become greater advocates for you and your career?
Discover how to make genuine connections on LinkedIn without sounding off alarms at your current workplace and why your online interactions should be as heartfelt as they are strategic.

Today, you’ll hear my conversation with Matthew Rolnick, the VP of Strategy and Innovation at Yaymaker, as well as a guy who proudly proclaims he is a super-connector. With over 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, and business development, Matthew has a passion for creating memorable and special moments that bring people together and foster collaboration, creativity, and learning.

In this episode, we talk about some simple and proven strategies to help you build those relationships, and Matthew answers a question many of you have asked about how to handle any fear your company may find out you are looking for a new job.
