It can feel like your resume is just in outer space. You\u2019re not alone in feeling this way; so many people do. You may wonder why someone else was hired when you may have been equally, if not more so, qualified. \u00a0It\u2019s probably because they are taking full advantage of networking opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t currently networking, you\u2019re missing out on the best way to find a new job or career. Here are just some of the ways you can get started:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volunteer <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find local volunteer opportunities that align with your career interests. Perhaps it\u2019s that you\u2019re looking to work in the public health field; search for a hospital or community health group who need volunteers. You may think of it as free labor for them, but instead think of it as free exposure, training, and experience for you. If you can\u2019t find something in your field, find a cause you believe in, such as Habitat for Humanity or your local SPCA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join Professional Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many professional organizations for every field. Some may be national or global, while others may be more regional. Find one whose mission you believe in and that fits your career goals. If you can\u2019t find one for your particular field, consider an organization for professionals in a smaller category (young professionals, professional women). You can also join an organization that you believe in (Salvation Army for example) to develop your skills further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Involved! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t just join the organization, get involved in it. Find local meet up chapters and then attend and participate in the meetings. The individuals at those meetings are not only going to be able to give you information about the field, but they also may be able to point you towards job opportunities. If you\u2019re especially involved, you may even find that someone could be instrumental in hiring you. (I know this, because it\u2019s happened to me!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attend Conferences (and Other Networking Events)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These can be conferences related to your professional organization or regional and local networking events. You\u2019d be surprised how many networking events are happening in your area! I know where I live a group of young business professionals meet once a month. The event doesn\u2019t have to be big in order to network!<\/p>\n<p>While networking doesn\u2019t guarantee that you\u2019ll find employment, it does guarantee that you\u2019ll meet people and hopefully you\u2019ll meet just the right person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann Eastham, Career Coach When you\u2019re a job seeker, the biggest frustration is by far the process of applying for jobs online and never knowing if your application is even reviewed.
