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 six-figure job seeking goes well beyond giving your friends copies 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 home. Reach out - by phone or by email - to Centers of Influence. These are people that know or have contact with a lot of professionals within the community. These could include people you already know, like:
- Your Doctor
- Your Tax Preparer
- Members of Clergy
- Your Banker
Within the course of a short conversation, let them know you're in the job market and your expertise (what problems you solve), and ask them that all important question, "Who do you know that I should be talking with?"
