[quote=Anonymous]So the key to getting a new job in middle age, as my agency is on the chopping block, is networking. But in my role I don't interface with any outside orgs, just gov all the way down and people NEVER LEAVE. I want to expand my network, so was looking at some conferences in the local area, and they cost like $500-$1000 a pop. Are people paying this? There is no way my agency will pay for this unless I'm presenting a paper or something. I've looked into more local meetups, but when I attended those it was mostly other people like me looking for jobs and not much else in attendance -- certainly no one with hiring authority. I guess I can email old college friends who live all over the country, but 20 years ago referrals seem... nonoptimal...[/quote]
