Referrals are Job 1 in the Job Search

Greetings!

One of the best and time tested methods for landing your next position is to get referrals.

Virtually all of us are networking. If you aren't you aren't networking, start today!

However, networking alone may not yield the results that you seek. The critical step that many job hunters miss is to ask people in your network for referrals. 

Cold contacts are rarely effective whether you fill out an online application or write a letter or cold call someone in a company. It's always easier and get better results with a "warm" call, that is having someone refer you to a key contact in a company or organization.

Here is an article I saw that talks about referrals and their place in the job search.

Thanks for visiting and remember our next meeting is a week from Tuesday.
