Networking with follow-up is the most effective. The key to a successful job search is contacts. Most people can sell themselves better in person than on paper.

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
Oprah Winfrey
Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are really part of a very big advertising program, and the fact that they make so much money is because the markets have dictated that they get that money, and the fact that they endorse our products allows us to sell more products and create more jobs.
