someone at the company where you would like to work.

We call them "Needs and Leads",

"J Seekers" and "Job Leads Network".   


Are you spending time every day learning about a company or profession?

Maybe it's time to schedule Informational Interviews with new connections.

Maybe it's time to call someone who is doing what you want to do, and meet to gather information.
