Is anyone else regretting not networking enough? I have almost no contacts that can help me find a job and in this job market, your network is your best chance at getting a job.

Depending on where you’re located, consider looking into a Professional Organization such as ATD (the Association for Talent Development) and others relevant to your field. In Philadelphia where I live, there is an association called PSPS (Philadelphia Society of People and Strategy) as another example. Both associations host virtual and in-person events. The in person events allow time for networking. The HR community is welcoming and will be happy to meet you!

PSPS is great (I'm a member and have served on the Board in the past), but keep in mind it's for senior HR people. I don't think an HR Coordinator would qualify for membership. The local SHRM chapter may be a better choice.

It’s never too late….but my best tool was making sure key words up to date in LinkedIn. That summary section is important. Your headline too.

Most people want to keep their information close to the vest to protect themselves and their job. Working in house causes so many behind the scenes drama. Find a fit where there is less gossiping and find harmony. The bigger companies offer lots of cute benefits but it is a fight everyday for preferences with each other.

This is why I'm constantly preaching about networking. It's not something you do only when you're looking for a job.

Join your local SHRM chapter, get involved, and volunteer for their events. Start connecting with people now -- not with "hey I need a job," but by congratulating them on their successes, helping them if they need it, sharing articles or videos you think they would be interested in.

Networking is, or should be, constant.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
