Finding Jobs through Contacts
By: Harrison Barnes



EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the importance of networking in a job search.

While Harrison has advocated and worked on a varied range of job search tools, he is very clear that use of contacts in your job search continues to be your best bet.

Once you’ve identified all your past contacts that can help you in your job search, start re-establishing contacts with them. Update them on your career without letting them know of your job search intentions. Once people find out that you are available, referrals come your way without even your asking for them.

Harrison believes that the greatest reward for human interaction and putting yourself out there is that you get to know and understand the market better. Connecting with people may get you your dream job without using any job search service.

Thanks for the quick turnaround and professionalism too. I'm very impressed. Your company really does great work! I'm definitely going to recommend you to my co-worker. She's been looking for a new job for like six months. I hope you can help her too. You really helped me this time around. Thanks!"
