Networking Success Tips - Quantity, Too

Your networking skills should emphasize building quality relationships, but don't discount the importance of quantity! Expand your network as much as possible - friends, relatives, classmates, community contacts...they're all part of your network. Don't spend a large amount of time on this, but at least make a comprehensive list and call or send a letter/email reestablishing contact, informing people of your search and goals, and asking for advice and/or referrals. It isn't about asking for a job; just ask for advice and referrals. Remember, the more you network, the faster your search will come to an end.
