From my buddy Mark:
I think the job search process can be defined in three steps:
1. Define your goals
2. Get your 'brand' in order - a major component of this for most people is your resume
3. Start networking!
So many people rely on the traditional 'reply to job postings' way of getting jobs. I've found my last 5 (or 6) positions or opportunities by networking. In some of those cases I didn't even need a resume.
For those of you who haven't made networking a major component of your search, read "The 29 Percent Solution" by Ivan Misner (the founder of BNI).
Better yet, if you can reach one of Rick's weekly meetings, I'd check it out. I think services like Rick's are great ways to improve your job search. Rick's blog will recap what they cover in their meetings as well. One person in your networking group is all you need to point you to an opportunity.
