GEN-ers, don't overlook the power of networking. One of our members, Steve F., had an interview today for a position that ultimately was not the right fit. But the interviewer was so impressed, he told Steve he would forward his resume to other people in his business/industry.
That's what networking is all about: letting people know that you're in the market for a new job, and asking others to help you spread the word. Even if an interview doesn't work out today, you never know--you may have planted a seed that will lead to an opportunity in the future!
Remember, if someone interviews you, follow up with a note or email to thank them, too. It leaves a good impression and may help them keep you in mind.
