Your task is to outline a strategy showing how you would use your network to secure an interview, either in person or virtually, with the appropriate HR person at that company.

1. Define your style of networking by considering what you excel at or when you may feel most comfortable; identify the best way for you to build your network, both in person or online.
2. Do you get completely overwhelmed in any social setting?  Take advantage of online networking in groups such as LinkedIn.
3. Do you get overwhelmed by large crowds but like to work in smaller groups?
4. Are you outgoing and ready to talk to everyone.
5. Which method is best for you?  In-person networking or on-line networking?
