Ways to help yourself: Go to a conference!
I recently went to a conference. I was offered a place after contacting CILIP about a far more general career matter. In dealing with my wider enquiry it was suggested that I might like to attend an upcoming conference – it was happening in a week’s time. A quick decision needed to be made, encompassing childcare and other logistics but once that was sorted, what else was there to lose? I felt rusty re: conference etiquette and I had absolutely nothing to wear….
