That's right, your secret ingredient for job success and Soylent Green is people. You're only as successful as your network. "You get jobs by talking to people. This has to drive your strategy. Talking to computers doesn't count. People would rather date someone's cousin or coworker than a complete stranger. It's safer. Hiring works the same way. The hiring manager has a stack of 1000 resumes and a colleague walks in and says, "I know this person. He's sane and presentable." That's a fundamentally different application.
The middle market creates permanent jobs. These are companies w/ 10-50 Million in sales, 100- a few thousand employees. Under-the-radar, mid-size companies are the source for most job growth in the country. Identify companies you're interested in, and try to get introduced to people who work there.
You have to bug people to get hired. Old rule of sales: you can't hire someone who won't call you." Donald Asher
