Promote Your Job Search at a Party

By , About.com GuideMay 28, 2010

If you're getting ready to relax and enjoy Memorial Day weekend, take a few minutes to plan ahead and, in addition to getting ready for a holiday weekend party, consider how you can integrate job search networking into your upcoming events.

It's fine to let people you meet at a party or another event know that you're job hunting, and you never know who you might meet who can help you with your job search.

Networking isn't as hard as you might think - it's just a matter of mentioning your job search at the appropriate time. Most people are happy to help, but they can't help if they don't know that you're actively seeking employment and in the market for a new job.

Hi Alison,

We’re all out and about more during the summer, be it parties, baseball games, farmers’ markets, or whatever. The season offers more networking opportunities than perhaps any time other than the year-end holidays.

Jobseekers can enjoy funemployment AND do their best networking — all rolled into one.

Here’s a link for more funemployment networking tips: bit.ly/91gLGQ.

Happy Summer,

Donna
