10 Ways to Use Speed Networking in Your Job Search

April 7, 2012 by Melissa C. Martin
<http://www.careerealism.com/author/melissa-martin/>

Regardless of whether you are married or with a significant other, no doubt
you've heard of "speed dating."

The goal is to talk to many potential dates as possible, in a tight time
frame, with just enough time to say your name and see if there's any
chemistry (or chemie, as we say in French), with the other partner.

No matter what your opinion is, speed dating and trying to find chemistry
with a potential employer who shares commonalities. Now that commonality has
transitioned into a trend called speed networking.

Here's what to do before attending a speed networking event:

"Why
Bother Networking"
The
meeting is Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 8:00 AM
Mark
your calendars now!
 
This month's Topic:  Why Bother Networking
Most people dread networking since they
don't understand it, think that they are not good at it and while in transition
they do not feel good about themselves. About 60 to 80 percent of people get
their jobs through networking. Based on that fact alone, people in search of
their next position should master this art.
The audience will learn about:
* What is networking?
* How to network effectively, with whom and where?
* What are the common barriers to networking and much more.
This one hour long presentation will
clarify many of the myths associated with this subject.
About the Speaker:
Alex Freund is also known as the Landing Expert for publishing his
Landing Expert job-networking list via his Web site www.landingexpert.com . Alex is prominent in a
number of networking groups and also writes a blog for job seekers accessible
via the same Web site. 
Alex had a successful career as corporate director at Fortune 500
companies. After graduating from CornellUniversity's
School of Hotel Administration, he worked in hotels and hospitals. And he's
managed some 35 different departments known as Facilities Administration or
Support Services.
 
Alex has extensive experience at interviewing people for jobs. He also has
practical training in career coaching. Consequently, he formed Landing Expert Career
Coaching services.

5 Reasons Your Job Hunting Isn't Going Well

Analyzing your job hunt could prove to be more useful than you think

To advance your career and make sure your job hunt is on track there are a
number of things that you must make sure you are doing right. In fact as a
job seeker, looking to get a job should in fact be your full-time job. Today
we are going to look at 5 quick, key reasons you are not getting the
response from employers that you feel you should. If you are guilty of any
of these offenses, today is a great day to take action.

# 1. You are not making your job hunt personal.

What we mean here is that you are still sending generic resumes to "whom it
may concern." Get personal. Find the names of the HR Directors, hiring
managers or the person doing the hiring at the company. Then send them a
personal note with a custom resume catered to their company and position
that you wish to have.

# 2. You are looking where everyone else is looking.
