In addition to professional networking organizations for in-person networking, create yourself a LinkedIn profile. The site is used for online professional networking. They also have groups that you can join based on profession. Using this site can help you to network beyond the area you are currently in.

Attending an local or regional meetings/conferences related to the type of work you are seeking is an excellent way to get information on companies you may like to work for or professions/jobs that you are interested in. Google your area of interest and geographic area to see what is scheduled.

You usually do to have to pay registration fees to "hang around" the coffee and meet people at breaks. People like to talk abut their job & experience.

Call me @ 954 873-3487 if you need more info. Do identify yourself as x Navy vet seeking employment so I won't think it is anther robocall.
