Networking 

Do not be shy to expand your social network a bit. Many jobs are circulated by word of the mouth and some are even created out of a connection. Tell your friends and acquaintances that you are looking for work.

Join chambers of commerce and professional associations or clubs that are related to your field of work and meet people there. Volunteering is also another way to get to know people and expose your abilities to those who are in a position to hire.

 

Cold Calls

Seek out prospective employers and contact them online, by letter. Some job seekers would call them and show up at companies. Although the latter practices are not recommended as they may be perceived to be annoying..
