Networking
Networking is one of the most effective ways to find a job. Who you talk to and what you say can make a big difference in your job search.
One networking tool we recommend is to write a concise statement that reflects who you are, what you've done, and what you're looking for. Think of it as your own 60-second commercial. It should include three strong reasons why an employer should hire you. Remember to emphasize what you have, not what you don't have.
