Whether you were just laid off or were job searching prior
to the epidemic, this is a great time to network online to find a new job. While many things have become more difficult for job seekers, this situation has also created some opportunities for you to succeed.
One of those opportunities the Coronavirus pandemic has created is online networking. Yes. Really! Job Search Expert Biron Clark shares how to reconnect with past colleagues, ask them how they are doing, or even reach out to new contacts.

If you are employed, you are embarking on a stealth job
search. Your networking will be a bit different from the out-in-the-open job seeker's approach. Employers often fire employees who are job hunting, viewed as disloyal or distracted, depending on the potential employers.
Hopefully, your stealth job search will ensure the success of your paycheck-continuation plan. In this article, Job-Hunt's Job Search Networking Contributor Liz Ryan shares important strategies for keeping your job search as confidential as possible.
Clearly, for some of us, networking is obviously something
new and baffling. I see and hear about many of these mistakes every week. For example, don't call a person you don't know with the explanation "Susan Smith suggested that we meet" if Susan suggested no such thing.
Good networking balances time and focus between two people who both have stories and issues to share. In this article, Job-Hunt's Job Search Networking Contributor Liz Ryan shares 8 other bad networking mistakes she sees and how to avoid them.
A "corporate alumni group" is a group of people who have worked for the same employer. Members may not have all worked together at the same time, but they did all work -- at some point -- for the employer named in the group. Find them in
LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media, even the local public library and places of worship.
Corporate alumni groups are excellent for connecting with old friends, former co-workers and colleagues, as well as former managers or bosses, and even people who simply share the common experience of working for the same company / organization. Job-Hunt's editor Susan P. Joyce, a member of several corporate alumni groups, shares how you can leverage corporate alumni for a successful job
search.
