Draft Tips #15 - Liar liar pants on fire? Rules for networking and body language

Still don't believe networking is the way?  This past weekend, I ran into my massage therapist at the supermarket.  He told me that it was time for a change, and he wanted to work closer to home so he had just applied to a couple of places.

Well, I was disappointed to hear that he was leaving the practice I had been using, but I wanted to help him.

In fact, I know of a therapist looking to expand her practice and is much closer to his home.

I'll connect them this week and hopefully it's a win for both of them.

All because he knew me and I knew someone through networking.  If you want to be successful finding a job, are you following these 9 rules of networking?

Because, if you simply apply online and pray, employers don't think you can really do the job.  They see a lot of "boasting".

But of course, you still have to get your resume - online or otherwise - to an actual human being.  Here's some tips on how to find the hiring manager for a job.

Once you're in the interview, does your body language give you away?  Here are a few tips.
