What Does Kyle Elliott Say Makes a Career Search Work?
Carolyn Kiel asks Kyle Elliott of CaffeinatedKyle.com whether networking is part of a search that works. He says yes, constantly. A vast majority of jobs, he says, are filled through connections. He lives on LinkedIn, but the step that matters is off LinkedIn: a phone call or a coffee, and actually getting to know the person. Build the relationship before you need it, so you can later ask for help or for a referral. Four of his own jobs came that way, and many of his clients' jobs too. Kiel adds that the useful version is asking questions, not opening with a request.
