2. JOB SEARCH

3. NETWORKING Networking is simply "talking to people." When people say you should network, they mean you should talk to people. People are happy to help others if they can. You need to be clear about HOW you'd like their help and clear about what you're looking for.

4. HOW TO NETWORK You are networking when you...  volunteer  talk with your neighbors  visit with other members of your social clubs or religious groups  search out friends and colleagues on Facebook and LinkedIn

5. MAKE IT FUN  It feels good to help others- people want to help you!  People like to answer questions and give advice about their job, company or industry.  By connecting with others, you’re sure to get some much needed encouragement and moral support.

6. MOST JOBS ARE NEVER ADVERTISED Many job seekers are hesitant to take advantage of networking because they’re afraid of being seen as pushy, annoying, or self- serving. Networking isn’t about using other people or aggressively promoting yourself—it’s about building relationships.
