Taylor Wingate Group Encourages Jobseekers to Build Their Network to Find Their Next Opportunity

SAN DIEGO, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- With national unemployment rates climbing, job seekers relying on traditional career search methods are discovering it is more difficult in today's environment to find new positions. According to Taylor Wingate Group, a professional career management organization headquartered in San Diego, California, the majority of positions today are landed through networking.

Taylor Wingate Group offers the following suggestions to conduct a proactive career search while building your network:

  -- List everyone you know.  Consider family, friends, former employers,
     suppliers, vendors, professional groups, trade associations, social
     clubs and religious organizations.  You never know where your next
     position will come from.
  -- Expand the list by searching news articles, company websites and the
     internet for contacts within your field.  The more work you spend
     researching, the more contacts you will have in the future.
  -- Write every contact seeking advice and information on who could assist
     you in your search.  Request information on the industry you are
     targeting and advice on your resume.
  -- Taylor Wingate Group reminds jobseekers not to put your contacts on the
     defensive by asking for a job.  You are simply asking them for advice
     and information about your search.
  -- Place follow up calls to schedule meetings.  Be persistent and
     professional.  Once you reach someone, most are extremely eager to help
     and assist.

The staff at Taylor Wingate Group has worked with all types of individuals from all types of industries. They have years of experience in assisting the executives, professionals and managers in the Southern California area.
