Create a job search plan
You should develop a job search plan. And then, proceed to work the plan. Treat your job search as you would be a job. When speaking to potential networking contacts, instead of asking for a job try to ask for help and suggestions. In this way even if no jobs are available in the company, the person can help you by giving you the names of two or three people that he or she knows.
A contact is someone who knows a lot of people, not necessarily someone who in your industry. A contact is a friend, neighbor or someone who can be trusted.
There lots of work ideas where you can gain new income. The best way is to search for it and make sure that your sources are reliable. You can search online or newspapers or any other media where job seekers post their need of employees.
