I fundamentally disagree.

Push Fast Forward
By Dr. Tammie Page
Desperate to find the right job, but don't know where to turn? You have the skills, but you don't know how to capitalize on them? You took all the right classes and got all the right certifications, but you still can't catch a break. All you want to do is get your foot in the door, an opportunity to prove yourself.
You interview but you still don't get the dream job. You feel stagnant, as if your career is going nowhere fast. Well join the majority of women in middle management positions. You're not complacent. You're stuck!

Upcoming Network Events:
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
