Tim,
I think you are spot on. Networking is the key to the job search. It has always played a big part of my job search strategy.
I wanted to share a free job search tool with you that may help some of your readers. I recently put together a website, http://www.emails4corporations.com that lists the email address patterns for over 200 of the F500 corporations thus far. This kind of information will be invaluable to job seekers as they attempt to initiate contact with company insiders (recruiters, hiring managers, potential informational interview contacts, etc).
Of course, most job seekers already utilize social and business networking websites like Facebook or Linkedin to re-connect with their friends and former colleagues, similar to how Staci did in your example above.
What if Staci wanted to reach out directly to a contact that she found who was working for her target company? Yes, she could try asking for an introduction via Linkedin, which forces her to give up control..and which may take forever..or she might pay for an upgraded Linkedin.com membership, which starts at $25/month or she might try using another pay-for-use website like Jigsaw.com to get the info she needs.
I have a better solution. If you know the full name of the contact that you are trying to reach, and you know the company name where they work, Emails4Corporations.com can show how to reach them directly and for free.
Anyway, just wanted to share this with you -

Hi Craig – I love what you said and I know a lot of job seekers feel that way. I have had a blast sharing my ideas for the past 11 months and the bonus is that I have an even stronger network as a result. There are a lot of other bloggers out there with a big heart. Some also are wanting to make a living at the same time. And I think that this is OK as long as they are offering lots of free content as well. There will come a day where everything I do won’t be free, but I will always have a soft spot for the job seeker – having been in their shoes before!
Thanks for your comment – glad to have you as a reader!

Thask Tim, You reinforece alot of waht I already knew about netwroking but made me think about worikng harder at it and focusing on more productive meetings, for both parties. Its like being told to eat your vegatables or make time for exercise. You know its ture, but it helps to heari ti over and over. Especially it the context for a real story, tha does not sound like a sale pitch, but coming from someone who truly cares about the job seaker.
I read many things from a variety of job search professionals and I often feel “You just want my money!”.
I don’t feel that when I read your blog.
Thanks, Craig
