Networking - Your Job Search Success Story

Of the dozen or so ways to find a job, which ones do you think are the most successful?

Would you be surprised to learn that the ways most people use to find their jobs are actually the least effective? The reason is because they are relying on the old standards: classified ads, job fairs and mailing resumes to employers. While those methods typically result in 5-7% of job candidates finding work, for the rest of the population, something else is going to be required.

In order to find a good job, you have to put forth effort. One of the most efficient ways to find meaningful work is to network with people you know (friends, family, neighbors and former co-workers). Networking involves sustaining positive relationships with a variety of people. It takes time and effort, but often pays off when employment situations arise. Sometimes, you have to go outside your sphere of influence and meet other people in order to find the job you are looking for.
