Job Hunting is all about Networking

David Rosman writing in the Columbia Business Times has a great article about Job Hunting.
You can read the article here.
Rosman's main premise is that Networking is what is going to help the majority of people find jobs. He also talks about JobAngels, which is "a 'grassroots' non-profit organization whose mission is to connect talented career professionals with those searching for work."
The work of the people involved with JobAngels further underscores the importance of networking.
Rosman closes the article with some solid advice:
There are four “Rosman Maxims” concerning the planning and execution of a career hunt. First, your future employer only cares how you can make them money, save them money or save them time. What you want is not even on the radar.
Second, a résumé will never get you the interview. But a well written, documented and professional résumé will reduce the likelihood of being first on the rejection pile.
Third, “It you tell enough people what you want, you will eventually get it.” Network, network, network. The idea that the majority of jobs are never advertised may or may not be true. However, with many companies now looking for qualified professionals, the more people in the field who know you are available, the higher the likely hood you will hear about the opening.
Fourth, “SW/SW/SW/N.” This goes along with the “If at first you don’t succeed” idea. You are going to get rejection letters; that is a fact of life. Yet another fact, many potential employers may never get back to you. These are not personal rejections. Just put a smile on your face and remember, “Some will. Some won’t. So what. Next!”
