This one-hour webinar looks at the basic rules of effective freelance networking, and how they apply just as much to online connections. We look at what people will want to know about you, and how you can polish up everything from your email address to your online profile. We’ll also be helping you get prepared for the end of lockdown, whenever that comes.

The session will include:
