Networking Through the Glass Ceiling

Networking is the career strategy that never ends, Christine S. Birnbaum, director of human resources at New York Life Investment Management, recently told the Accounting Society at Baruch College:

In regards to the glass ceiling, Birnbaum said, "Networking does not end in college. You have to take risks in your career and diversify to succeed." Diorio also added that each person must make him or herself indispensable. "Each person must seek out opportunities especially when just starting out a career," said Diorio. Belgrave remarked that bosses will promote people who are visible.

Birnbaum was one of a panel of women financial executives who spoke at an even marking Women's History Month.
