Episode 25: A Conversation with Jennifer Congdon 6 Degrees or Less

    • Business

I recently spent time with my friend and fellow HR colleague to talk about relationshiping, the job search, pet peeves and what networking means to her. What started out as fun, competitive banter (Texas vs. OU) has blossomed into a great friendship and trusted HR colleague that I can rely upon as a sounding board. I hope you'll tune in for this fun, lighthearted conversation about networking and the importance of building relationships.
