The Job Hunt Insider: Building a Network That Helps You Find a Job

Episode Notes Guest: Rick Boyer: Job Transition Coach, Podcast Host, Author Industry: The Job Hunt Insider: Building a Network That Helps You Find a Job Episode Summary: This episode of The Job Hunt Insider focuses on networking. From chapter 3 of his new book, host Rick Boyer focuses on helping job seekers build a practical, effective network from a hiring manager’s perspective, emphasizing that successful job opportunities often come through relationships rather than job boards alone. It reframes networking as intentional relationship-building rather than awkward self-promotion, encourages openly but strategically sharing career goals, and highlights that opportunities can arise from unexpected personal and professional circles. This episode outlines five core ideas—overcoming discomfort, expanding where you look for connections, thinking beyond traditional “professional” contacts, staying in touch before you need help, and being strategic without being public—while stressing reciprocity and consistency. It concludes with a clear action plan to immediately reconnect with people, communicate exploration rather than need, help others, and maintain relationships over time as a long-term career asset. From the episode: Action Plan for Networking Now 1. Decide what you’re exploring for, not what you’re “asking for.” 2. Write down five people you could reconnect with this week. 3.
