Don's right. We should help each other.

I've been unemployed since last June, and without a paycheck coming in since September. One thing that comes up, over and over and over, in every session on how to get a job, is networking.

Cold calls rarely land a job. Sending out resumes like a shotgun sends out pellets almost never works. *Most jobs are landed because someone you know knew someone who was looking for someone like you and could give you the name of their friend.*

If you're lookin' for a bookin', you're lookin' for a job.

Networking works -- I know, 'cause it helped me to find a job. I start on May 5.
