Make a list of all of the people you know who might be able to give you good advice about finding work and known job opportunities.
|
This list should be long; friends, neighbors, your friends' parents, professors, relatives, etc.
Feel free to put me on your list; I enjoy helping. |
Prioritize your list from “most helpful/promising/aligned with my goals” to “least” (by guessing); the prioritization may shift over time.
|
Prepare to talk with people about your desire to find work and apply for positions.
|
Is your resume ready to send if it's requested?
Is your LinkedIn profile current? |
Contact the most helpful person or start pursuing the most promising opportunity on your list.
|
Thank the person who connected you with the person you just contacted or opportunity you just pursued.
|
After you find work, contact every single person who helped you in any way to let them know you found work, and thank them for helping you.
|
Also let them know that you hope you can help them in the future.
