\"\"<\/a>According to About.com<\/a>, at least 60 percent – some report even higher statistics – of all jobs are found by networking. In a slow job market, finding employment via the traditional manner could be quite ineffective. I know firsthand. I have been looking for a mid-career communication<\/a> position for quite a long time. Since January of this year I have been searching for an entry-level paralegal<\/a> position. However both searches thus far have come up empty.<\/p>\n

So, I have decided to finally use my social network<\/a> to get the word out. If you know of any possible employment positions in my chosen fields or know people in the communication or legal industries, please pass along any leads. I can be found on LinkedIn<\/a> or you can just forward the link to my professional blog<\/a>, which also serves as my r\u00e9sum\u00e9 online, to any potential employers.<\/p>\n

I will continue to do my part and am confident the right job will come up eventually, but if you can help spread the word I would really appreciate the valued assistance. Thanks in advance for your effort.<\/p>\n
