"When it comes to looking for a job, it's not what you know, it's who you know."
Well, there are a couple of major problems with that nugget of wisdom:
If you know a lot of people, but they are not aware of (a) the collection of skills, experience and talent you offer or (b) the types of employment you are seeking, they can’t help you.
If you know a lot of people, but you don’t have personal credibility with these people, they won’t help you.
Contacting everyone you know and saying “I’m looking for work, let me know if you hear of anything” is not networking. It’s lazy! It’s asking your contacts to do the hard work for you; that is, figuring out what kind of work you want and identifying who the best networking contacts for you might be. Defining that information is your job. Using that information is how you can help your contacts help you find a job.
