Networking to find a new job is one of your best tools. You have tons of friends, former work colleagues and contacts in the local community that want to help you succeed. You need to start making a list of all those people then call each and every one. Tell everyone that you are looking for a great new position and be specific. You will trigger 1,000% more leads if you say "I am looking for a new Sales Manager job in Industrial Products" other than "I'm looking for something maybe in sales, not sure what I want to do."Develop a short script if you like to get into the practice of calling people, catching up and then asking them if they know of any great companies or other people in your field that you can network with. Ask them who they know is great around town and a great networking source as well. Your goal is to find all the good companies in town, not necessarily just the ones that your friends think are hiring at this time. Your call and lead list should mushroom quickly.
Call your friends, take them out for lunch one on one and ask them for some advice and LEADS.
Till next time. Good Luck! Scott
