NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK
Networking is a common synonym for developing and maintaining contacts and personal connections with a variety of people who might be helpful to you and your career.
You can't start soon enough or do too much networking. You're planning your future, after all, so take charge! Begin by listing all the people to whom you can talk to. Not only those who may have the job you want. Anyone and everyone can spread the word that you are or will be searching for a new position. Whether it's passing along your resume, providing a referral or simply keeping you in mind should an opportunity arise to mention your name, there's something for everyone to do! As soon as you know you'll be looking, draft your list. Begin with the names of friends and family. To that, add current work contacts, previous employers, co-workers, fellow alumni, and so on. Always carry index cards for jotting down names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of those who are willing to offer assistance-you never know whom you'll meet so be prepared. Print up "business cards" to distribute at opportune moments; these should provide your name, e-mail address, address, and phone number(s) along with a very brief description of the type of position you seek. Seize every opportunity to network-including holidays, conventions, weddings, and reunions when you're likely to encounter people you don't see regularly.
FOLLOW UP RIGOROUSLY
In any job hunting environment, but especially in a tough one, following up after an interview is imperative. It's a safe bet that most people don't write after an interview, and if they do, they dash off predictable, tired letters that do nothing to remind the interviewer how singularly qualified they are for the positions they desire. So you must never fail to write a strong, well-planned followup letter. You must also follow through with thank-you notes to anyone who offered help and referrals or served as a reference. In a tough market, the number of interviews you have may be limited. That means you'll have more time between them, and that deprives you of any excuse for not writing! This is particularly true since e-mail can make following up quicker and simpler. Once your search is over (and it sure will be!) be certain to inform and thank all those who offered encouragement, contacts, support, and even those who were willing to help but didn't, for whatever reason. You never know when your next job search may begin.
