Job Search Networking
Build Your Network to Expedite Your Job Search 
COMPILED BY PAT KENDALL, NCRW



Whether it's done traditionally or online, networking can speed up your job search.

Networking: The process of connecting
with other people for the purpose of building
relationships to facilitate employment

Connecting with other people can be done formally, informally, in-person, over-the-phone, via email, and through social networking sites such as Linkedin, FaceBook, or MySpace.

Networking can take the form of a simple lunch, a casual meeting between friends, or attendance at a specific networking event.

Regardless of how you do it, do it!
