Network, Network, Network!

Over on Career Hub, Deb Dib points to a recent Execunet newsletter to highlight the importance of networking.

According to the survey of 1,483 professionals with an average salary of $193,000, the top three sources for job interviews include: Networking contacts (46%); Internet job listings (24%); and Unsolicited contact from a recruiter (5%).

Most job seekers spend much more time on applying to Internet job postings and sending resumes to recruiters, than they do on builing and maintaining a network. Don't be one of them!
