Networking Resources

Career management experts and veteran job seekers promote networking as one of the most effective methods of obtaining a new job. Networking is the ongoing process of obtaining, from personal contacts, industry information, including job leads. Networking does not involve asking anyone for a job. It is a reciprocal process that allows you to give, as well as get, information and leads thus enabling you to build ongoing mutual beneficial professional relationships. With rare exception, network in person.
