Amazing how it is more about who you know or get to know versus what you know. Kudos to you for taking up the challenge of not only working in a new job but going to an entirely new place to do it. Best of luck and happy landings! Great article, Neva and very timely given the present job market and those taking the opportunity to transition into other fields, roles and/or industries.

I highly recommend joining and becoming active in the professional association that serves your job type. That's where you meet the cream of the crop, hear about the latest trends and best practices (tuck those nuggets away for upcoming job interviews!) and where you can tap into the job bank and hear first about openings. And do check out all the resoruces (articles, book, CD, etc.) at www.ContactsCount.com.
