Face to Face
As we see announcements of more and more layoffs and business closures, even employees at healthy companies are getting worried about their jobs.
If you are one of the millions depending on Uncle Sam (or Mother Canada) to help pay your bills, it isn’t enough just to send out resumes to online contacts anymore. You will need to start networking in person.
Almost every community has business networking groups and events. Just do a google search on your city plus business networking.
Check out your local Bureau of Tourism, if you are in an area that has such a thing. I’m finding a wealth of great information on Twitter, just by doing a search for single or compound terms.
Meet and greet; people will be more inclined to hire someone they *know* than a total stranger.
