When networking and sending out resumes, most folks tend to search far and wide for
job leads. But don’t overlook your own family as a potential gold mine of
employment information.

One client of mine, Paul W. from Columbia Heights, Minnesota,
found a job this way in accounting and financial management:

“I emailed over 100 resumes to employers and was networking seriously, eventually
getting 8-10 good interviews. But it was my wife who helped me find my new
job,” says Paul.

His wife told her friend, who told her boss about Paul’s qualifications. That
wife’s friend’s boss offered Paul an interview, and eventually, a job. It’s
proof that you should leave no stone unturned in your networking efforts, even under
your own roof!

Other examples: my wife got a job interview from a contact she made at our daughters
school my brother got a phone call and an interview from an old high school
buddy. And that was just during one two-week span, in my own family!

There are thousands of job leads out there, most of them unadvertised, waiting to be
uncovered by you. Go get them.

Action Step: Every single relative in your family is a potential gold mine of employment
information, especially those who are in positions dealing with management,
human resources, sales and marketing  they will interact with hiring decision
makers every day.
