Face-to-face networking worked for me. I did the online job search thing, checked some classifieds, but what landed me a job after a lay off was getting my resume into the right hands at the right time. My current employer needed someone with my experience. I applied online, but what got me in the door was a friend that works at the same place. He hand delivered my resume to HR who then contacted me, then my new management. All said and done, entire process took less than a week.
Awesome advice Al, I think I’ll do just that.
