Networking is a critical skill for improving your odds of finding and harvesting job opportunities.
To be efficient and effective at networking it is important to construct a master list of contacts from which
you can retrieve contact information quickly and in one spot.
There are several tools available to accomplish this task:
> e-mail
> a social networking membership (i.e. Linkedin.com, Facebook.com, myspace.com etc.)
> rolodex
> daily planner or address book
Whether it is computer-based or not, it's simply important to have a master list, that is in one place where all the names
of those you could potentially contact, with some sort of contact and descriptive information.
One tool, an Excel Spreadsheet, is provided in this section for your immediate use. Even if you're not comfortable with using
this spreadsheet tool, it's worth looking at to see the kind of information that should populate a master contact list.
