I think Tom echoes my sentiment that it’s important to target if all you’re doing is throwing yourself into every event you find. That kind of activity can lead to burn-out, especially for those of us who are introverted. Your point about expanding your networking options is very important, though — the key is remembering not to overwhelm yourself.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share some of my own tips and tricks for job searching! As I stated in the post, no one job search is like another, but hearing success stories can be helpful in figuring out which tactics work best for you.

Tom – Thanks very much! Targeted networking is great, but I believe that it is important to expand and seek networking options in new environments (online and in person) as well. Within reason, of course!
