So Job-seeker, how many people do you know?

According to one of the most networked people I know (hint, his first name is Scott), the average person knows about 250 people.

I wonder how many people the average job-seeker networks with on a weekly basis? Job hunting is almost a full-time job itself, but I wonder if we actually spend too much of our time on fruitless search activities, and too little time on cultivating our network.

The Steps to Successful Networking:

2. Conduct a self-assessment.
3. Prepare a strong resume.
4. Decide how to organize your network.
5. Communicate with your network.
