Networking is one of the most effective ways of finding a high-paying position in this job market, but networking the right way relative to job seeking goes well beyond giving your friends a copy of your resume, or asking them if they know of anyone who is hiring.
So here's a networking strategy you can use without ever leaving your house:
Reach out by phone or by email to the Centers of Influence - these are people who know or have contact with a lot of professionals within the community. These could include people you already know, like your clergy members, bankers, doctors or your tax preparer.
Let them know you're in the job market, tell them your target companies and explain your expertise.
Then make sure you ask that all-important question, "Who do you know that I should be talking with?"
