Networking: The Best Way to Search for a Job

A "Job Search Snippet"

Who you know DOES matter,
at least where your job search is concerned. That's why networking is one of the best ways to find a new job. You can find some really good ideas in an About.com article on the subject.

Another way to combine effective networking and satisfy some of the need for an income can be through temporary employment agencies. Several years ago, when my son Ralph was just out of college and looking for a job, he answered a "blind ad" in the newspaper classified section. It turned out to be for a temporary job that "got him in the door" of a major company.

Even casual contacts you make in the grocery store, a restaurant, or a book store can have results you would normally never expect. You just have to keep a positive "always interviewing" attitude.

“Job Search Snippets” are intended to just introduce you to ideas that have worked for others. They won’t take a long time to read, but hopefully they will each give you something to think about and use to help yourself get through this.
