Networking Resources

by Jennifer V. Miller

During a recent presentation to the GRAPE organization, I outlined several networking strategies to increase the “health” of your personal network. (See summaries, Part I and Part II.) During the research for the presentation, I realized that there was way more content than the one hour could contain. So, here are additional resources, organized by different types of networking categories.

For Job-Seekers

Absolutely Abby Career Website : Advice organized by a daily theme. Example: Thursdays is “Ingenious Interview” tips.

JobAngels : A volunteer organization whose mission is to help bring people together in a community setting where each person commits to a single goal: to help just one person find gainful employment.

Jobhunt.org : Owner Susan P. Joyce manages an award-winning employment portal w/over 8,000 links to employer recruiting pages by state, plus 5,000 more links to career and job search resources.
