Blog Post: Scottsdale Networking Groups


posted Thursday, September 27, 2007 10:17 AM

In and around Scottsdale there are a number of Networking Groups that help people connect for a variety of purposes.

Some of these groups meet for business reasons such as trading leads, doing business by referrals, for moral support, for building of community, relationships and partnerships.

Another major reason for networking is for the purpose of identifying jobs available and for filling those job openings. A large percentage of available jobs don't appear in the newspaper or online at job posting websites.

One of the best means of discovering this "hidden job market" is through the practice of networking. Your friends, acquaintances and referrals can be very helpful in finding a job but as your career moves through various phases, networking with people outside of your close circle of friends becomes more important.

By meeting people, letting them see your face, and hearing what they have to say you are tapping into the vast number of jobs that simply don't exist until someone identifies a need for them and tells a friend, who tells a friend, who tells a friend, who tells you.

People that you meet at these Scottsdale Networking Groups can help you tap into the hidden job market and find the best job to utilize your knowledge skills and abilities.

One of the members of the SJN Board of Directors maintains a large list of networking groups for Scottsdale and the rest of the Greater Phoenix area. This list identifies all of the networking groups and their purposes and enables a person to find just the right opportunity for networking within the Valley of the Sun.
