    Networking. And having relatives and friends with businesses. I no longer deal with headhunters. Besides, the agencies want me to commute 40 miles and right now I'm working from home. Hands down better way to work.

    I found two behind the sofa last time. My advice is to retrace your steps and think about where you could have left them.

    Well I do accept those who have found me work.

    Otherwise my network contains only those people I know or have worked with.
