Ever hear "Who do you know"?The real question should be""Who knows you"?

Unless you have a personal relationship, it is not likely you would be cold-calling a C-Level Executive and ask for a job at their company. Why are you suddenly calling Recruiters and asking them to find you a job?My Recruiting FOGs (Friends of Gary) tell me they get requests all the time from unknown job seekers asking for help.It is critical to form relationships with Recruiters and Peers to build your network and be in a position for them to seek you! Relationships must be mutually beneficial and formed in advance of when you need something.

Are you connected to peers and recruiters now?

Are you referring talent to them?

Are you a source of industry information?

Are your resume and online profiles searchable and appealing?

Are you attending industry events and seminars?

Interesting things happen when you are positive, helpful and fully engaged!

What is working for you?
