Finding Jobs through Contacts
By: Harrison Barnes



EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the importance of networking in a job search.

While Harrison has advocated and worked on a varied range of job search tools, he is very clear that use of contacts in your job search continues to be your best bet.

Once you’ve identified all your past contacts that can help you in your job search, start re-establishing contacts with them. Update them on your career without letting them know of your job search intentions. Once people find out that you are available, referrals come your way without even your asking for them.

Harrison believes that the greatest reward for human interaction and putting yourself out there is that you get to know and understand the market better. Connecting with people may get you your dream job without using any job search service.





Client Testimonials
"Recently, I was laid off from a major corporation. I had no idea how I was going to come back from such a sudden and unexpected event. I came to your company hoping for a cover letter explaining my situation and was pleasantly surprised by your writer's tact. I don't think there could be a better letter phrasing. Thank you so much. I will let you know how things turn out in the next few months. Cross your fingers for me!"

"For months, I was struggling to find a new position. My firm was downsizing, and I had to act fast. I signed up for a new cover letter explaining the situation and was greeted with a very thorough and professional letter filled with tact. Now, thanks to your help, I have a new position for the long term. I really appreciate all the help I received during this difficult time. Thanks a lot."
