101 People you can Network with during your Career Transition

Looking for a job requires networking with a wide variety of people and it can be easy to get stuck when trying to figure out who can help you. I have put together this tickler list to give you some ideas on people you could talk to about your targeted position and companies. These people are also great to have meetings with and get constructive ideas about your job search. Plus, these people may have other referrals to other contacts, job opportunities or be able to share personal success stories that will help you land sooner. So remember in networking for a job you must prepare, share and care by paying it forward!
