I think reaching our to your network is most definitely the most important item here. I think a lot of people wait too long to do this, so the news becomes outdated and unimportant. Great tips.

I like the idea of Touch Base With Your Network. In fact it is true when a move from a job to another will really need us to keep in touch with our previous network. Great post.

Also food bribes work. I started a new job one time (doing SEO work for a merchant account company) and gave a PEZ dispenser and refills to everyone in the office as I introduced myself. Everyone, except the phone support guy, I got him a 4 pack of Tums and he laughed at it. It was just a dumb thing to break the ice, but it worked. The thing that won them over though was the 50-60 leads a day they got from the form I funneled everything into (this was back in the day when Alta Vista was a king and you could get listed in 24 hours on them, long ago before the pay per clicks). Still, it was just a goofy cheap tactic but it was fun. Solid ideas, too many people don't update these things when they switch to a new situation.
