You are actively seeking for a job but you don’t have a strong professional network? You are convinced it’s impossible to find a job without a professional network?


No panic! There are certainly people around you who can help you carry out a more efficient job search.


Inform people around you about your job search
It’s important not to forget that everyone has a network. And this network can help you get in touch with employers. Friends, family, neighbors, old colleagues are as many people who can help link to professionals. Moreover, members of your network most certainly know people working in businesses or companies that may interest you.


To kick off your job search, don’t hesitate to contact these people by telling them what kind of position you are looking for. They will most likely be very happy to help you.


Use professional social networks
New technologies represent a huge opportunity to get in touch and communicate with potential employers. The first step for you is to create a personalized profile on a professional social network such as LinkedIn for example. To do so, simply fill in your profile with information contained in your resume. The more active you are on the network, the more visible you will become by companies and potential employers. Don’t hesitate to like, comment and share articles related to your job or work sector.


Spread your resume on the internet
It’s becoming much easier to get employers to see your resume. On the internet, there are a large amount of websites that enable you to upload your resume online. In only a few clicks you can broadcast it to the companies you have targeted.

There are many ways of expanding your network so don’t hesitate to seize opportunities wherever they are.
