To be truly successful in your job search, you need to master the art of networking!
Networking is a process for developing and maintaining contacts and personal connections with people who may assist you in pursuing your career goals. Networking can range from an unexpected encounter to a planned meeting, so always be prepared!
Remember that you are always “on” when job searching, so always be at your “professional best” when interacting with everyone. Carry extra resumes in your car; you’ll never know when you may need one!
Many job openings are never advertised! Discover these openings by networking and letting others know you are job searching.
Start with people you know. Have you spoken to these contacts about your job search?
Think creatively when developing your network of contacts and organize your networking list.
Provide networking contacts AND references with a copy of your resume.
Have you explored these resources for job opportunities?
DON’T FORGET!!
