Informal Job Search Networking
Try job search networking, it really does work. At least 60% of all jobs are found by networking. Develop contacts - friends, family, neighbors, college graduates, people in associations - anyone who might help to get information and job leads. You can take a direct approach and ask for job leads or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know. You may be surprised by the people they know. Make yourself pick up the phone and call. You will have to make a lot of phone calls each day. The more phone calls you make the easier it will become. Email is a perfectly acceptable way to network as well. Keep your message short and to the point and be sure to check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. If you are attending a holiday gathering or any other type of party, it is appropriate to mention in casual conversation that you are looking for a job. Accept all the invitations you receive - you never know where or when you might meet someone who can help you!
