* Members of your professional organization
If you belong to a professional organization related to the field in
which you are looking for a job, you can consult the organization for
current posting from the members. If you don't belong to any,
consider joining one since this will be beneficial to you career growth.
A professional organization can provide you unbiased information on
current job openings from its members. The organization can
also give you details on the company profile and even on current market
and career trends.
These are the most important people that you should include when
creating a list of your warm contacts. It is better if you
contact them all so you can have as many options in your job
search. When you talk to them, tell them that you are
actively seeking a job. |

"Positively Thinking Out of the Box"
How can one person "think out of the box?" This should be
done independently, but how? Here's an example: Cut a cake
into eight slices but you have to make no more than three
cuts. Most people will have trouble coming up with a way to
cut the cake. But to solve this, you have to change the way
you look at the cake and how to cut it.
One perfect solution
is to cut the cake into two equal sizes and put the other half on top
of the other. Cut it again in half then stack the other half
pieces on top of one another and cut them again. There you
go, that's thinking out of the box.
Another example of thinking out of a box is this: Here are
four words... subtract, multiply, add, decrease...
Now which one does not belong to the group? Mostly people
would right away say that the word "decrease" does not
belong. Why? Because all the other three words are
mathematical jargons and the latter is not.
Well, that's not
thinking out of the box, if you think out of the box, the answer would
be the word "add" since it only has three letters while all the other
have six and more. You could give a lot of right answers but
the one that shows more creativity stands out. |

* Members
of the church, political party, social club or fraternity or
sorority
You probably did not expect it, but people who share the same faith,
beliefs or hobbies may also help you with finding a job. You
may have a different career from theirs, but they might know somebody
who is in the same field or will be able to help you in your career.
However, depending on your level of association with them, they may
think twice about giving their opinion or thoughts about their
contacts. Their opinion can sometimes help you in making a
strategy on how to approach and ask for help from their contacts.
* People who sell you things
You may think that your relationship with these people is purely based
on trading goods and services, then paying for them. However,
people who sell you things are also sources of information when
networking.
Since these people sell their goods to different types of persons, they
may have associated with somebody who belongs to the same field as you
do, or have heard information about your target job from their other
clients.
These people will also be happy to help you, since they know that
maintaining a pleasant relationship with you means a stable
business. Also, if you have a good job means you have
increased your purchasing power, and then it could also mean that you
may purchase more from them.
