2. Build your network and reach out to them Believe it or not, research shows that more than 60 percent of all jobs are found through networking. Networking is just about starting conversations with people you meet probably in the library, the gym or anywhere you go. It's an opportunity to talk with other professionals in a comfortable setting and thereby, drive your job search forward. Everyone you know or meet in any situation can be an opportunity to grow your network. If you have networks, reach out to them with a simple e-mail or a phone call. 3. Become active online If you are looking for a job but still not stepping out of your comfort zone, it's better for you to be more active as there is no room for being passive in job search today. Social media platforms are the most useful tools to brand yourself as an expert professional. So create account in social media sites like LinkedIn if you don't have any and become active. You can also create a professional portfolio website in order to showcase your experience and accomplishments to potential employers.
