But the most successful is your own network. Let people know you are on the job market and attend as many professional and community social meetings that you can. Professional associations are always good places to expand your contacts. Getting involved in an official position in these groups also extends your contacts even further. Your own extended family is an excellent source.
Employers feel there is less risk in employing somebody who is known already to one of their staff.
Many keep databases of people on the job market, although many will forget about them unless your application makes a unique impression or they are looking for somebody like you for a current client.
