According to the Wall Street Journal, 94 percent of new job finders cited networking as their primary mode of job searching.

    1. Your college's alumni association or career office.
    2. Online at specialized networking sites.
    3. Your local chamber of commerce.
    4. Your church or community organization.
    5. A local or national professional group to which you belong
