The majority of successful candidates find their positions through networking--not by sitting back and waiting for online job boards to deliver offers to their desktop. It's not just for powerful titans of industry; anyone can learn to network successfully. Start small by paying more attention to people around you. Don't be shy about calling long lost relatives or chatting up the person sitting on the treadmill next to you at the gym. Tell them what you're looking for and find out who they know or how they might be able to help. Expand your network by joining professional associations and attending local events. Finding a job is a full-time job--stay positive, stay focused and don't give up!
