“Networking in the New Normal”
Hugo Sandberg is excited to join the Hudson Job Search group with a presentation on “Networking in the New Normal” on February 15th. As a past HJS client, Hugo is familiar with the HJS group and process and has firsthand knowledge of the power of networking when it comes to job search. Having gone through job changes multiple times over the past 20 years, it has become evident that networking is a constantly changing challenge. But it is also the best way to connect with people and find your next opportunity.
Hugo has been called a master networker by his friends and colleagues and he is eager to share some of his tips with others and will explain the power of his network through stories of his own job searches. He will also explain that networking is not something you only do when searching for your next job. It should be a continuous process. You never know where your next connection will come from and where it will lead.
Hugo Sandberg has spent the past 26 years in the plastics, coatings, and rubber industries with such companies as Rubbermaid, Little Tikes, Sherwin-Williams, The Flood Company, Excel Polymers, and HEXPOL. He has performed in a variety of marketing, product management, sales, and business development roles. At Little Tikes, Hugo managed the famous Cozy Coupe which was the world’s best-selling car.
