A Successful Network Meeting

In my post this morning, I mentioned having several network meetings scheduled.  One of them took place this afternoon.  I would put this meeting in the productive and successful category of job search.  What constitutes productive and successful?   I walked out with...

• several excellent suggestions about how I might strengthen my resume
• the names of four people to contact with permission to use the name of the individual I met with today to help open the door
• ideas about different approaches to getting my foot in the door of a college or university

Equally important is the fact that I walked out with work to do.  In many of my prior posts I've talked about how activity, or lack thereof, impacts my search.  The more I network, the more referrals I get, the more I have to do which keeps my spirits up and hope alive.  I truly believe I am sowing seeds that will result in a job opportunity, and I'm meeting some really interesting people along the way.
