Using your network to find a job.

The type of job you are seeking will pretty much determine the type of actions and where you can find the best resources for your career search. Applying directly to the online recruiting resources for local companies or requesting a paper application from a small company without the Internet recruiting software is best for clerical, retail, food services, and light manufacturing positions. But if you are striving towards management, or have reached an executive level, the jobs you may want to strive for may not be posted (yet). Dawn Boyer, Ph.D., is the owner of D.
