Networking is the #1 Way to Find a Job

Over 50% of job seekers credit "networking" for their success in finding a job. When someone refers you to a hiring authority, there is an inferred level of trust.  You are often referred to someone who is not actively interviewing, so there is NOT a stack of resumes on their desk.

You never know WHO someone knows. You need to network with everyone you know who is currently working. They may not be working in your field of interest but that doesn’t mean they don’t know someone in your targeted area of interest.

When you are involved in an active job search, you should be adding at least one person to your professional network daily. Make sure you bring in your mail, grocery shop and complete other routine tasks when you have the best chance of running into people who are employed.

If you have not ordered our FREE Resume Cards (which are a mini resume with your contact information), visit the URL below to view a sample Resume Card or to order:

You may not always carry around your resume, but it’s simple to always have these cards on you to pass out.

Update the members of your network at least every 90 days and make sure to thank anyone who has providing you with advice or leads.
When you are in a Job Search you want to use ALL resources available and networking is the most effective!
