• Finding your job search to be ineffective?
• Have limited contacts in your geographic area, profession, or industry?
• Cringe when you think about going to a networking event?
• Not sure how to strike up conversation?

At companies that keep track of such figures, as many at 40% of new hires come from employee referrals.  The best networkers don't confine their networking behavior to a specific event or career turn - during a job search, for example. They network as a way of life.
