Where to Network

The general rule is to network with people in informal situations as appropriate, perhaps offering your business card for contact if a person indicates an interest in assisting you with a specific issue. More formally, there are networking groups throughout every community with a variety of resources available to support the process.

Since Job Support groups are totally focused on the issue of assistance, that's the primary recommendation for spending time and energy for the process of career transition to new opportunities.
