"I am a member of NAWIC, national association of women in construction and we have a meeting once a month but before hand we have an hour networking session. Through this we have hired quite a few of employees, during this time if one of our members have recently lost a job they have the opportunity to mention this to a room full of supervisors, owners and administration workers and it is in the same industry they are or were currently in. This also goes for employees who are reaching out to see what is out there because they are not happy with their current position. Networking is a great way to put your fellers out and see what is out there and meet and talk with people that you normally wouldn't have the opportunity to with just applying to positions on job boards."
