If
you've ever worked for a large company, check the Company
Alumni Groups and you may find that there is a group of
former employees who have banded together for networking.
Also, check Liz Ryan's job search networking tips for pointers and tips in expanding and leveraging your personal network. And visit Job-Hunt's list of over 600 professional associations and societies by industry for more networking opportunities and job listings.
If you know of a job search support group that should be included
in our list, send an e-mail to feedback@job-hunt.org
with their Website address or even Yahoo Groups page. If they
don't have a Web page, we can't list them.
