Hi Cleon, 

I wanted to thank you for the guidance to get out there and build a network.

This week I ended up with two offers.  One that would pay the bills until I found something better and one that I would like to do for some time.  Neither of the positions was listed.  Both of them I got by networking.  

Thomas Flynn referred me to one of the positions.  

The other position I found out from a guy that interviewed me.  He liked me, but his boss didn't.  When I didn't get the job, I contacted him through Linkedin and asked if he knew of any other companies that were hiring that could use my skills.  He recommended three companies.  I had already been working two of the companies, but I had not looked at the third.  The third company did not have any jobs posted so I sent an e-mail to the request for information e-mail address on the website.  I got an e-mail back from HR asking me to submit a resume.  The next day HR called me to schedule an interview.  

Feel free to pass on my story.  I will try to make it to the Job Finders Support Group next Friday (11/6)

Thank you,
David Grimes
