Article: Want to find a job? Get out and talk to people

...Career counselor Andrea Kay told me in a recent telephone interview that job seekers often tell her they have no control over their situation. She says that's not entirely true. Talking with people -- yes, the dreaded networking -- is key, and can help overcome those feelings of powerlessness.
"People think the most direct route to a job is to send out a résumé. It seems logical. It does get there, maybe, but you're competing with thousands of other resumes," Kay said. "People hire people they know, they like, they trust." -Continued I thought this was a great article for our group. Especially those Ags in-transition. Feel free to discuss below. JOhn |
