If you plan to look for a job after graduation from high school or college, laying the groundwork now is important. Projections indicate that jobs will continue to be hard to find for a few years, and those who have an "in" will be the first to secure work.
Networking is the most promising way of finding your way into a job, and the best time to start building a network is while you are still in school. Why?
• By beginning now, you will have time to enlarge your network so that many people can help you find a job when you're ready.
• Networking is the perfect way to meet professionals in your field--people who can assist you in finding new job opportunities.
• Building relationships takes time, and the better your relationships with the people in your network, the more likely they are to want to help you when the time comes.
• Employees know when openings come up in their companies, and in the firms of other people they know. Often, these positions are never advertised. Unless you're part of a large network of people who work for different companies, you'll never hear of these jobs.
• If someone an employer respects recommends you, you gain attention that you'll never receive from sending unsolicited resumes.
• Many firms offer contract work during a down economy in order to save money. You might be able to secure short-term employment from a network reference that leads to full-time employment.
