You don't want to dig where everyone is dig- ging. You want to scope out places others are not search- ing so you have the best chance of scoring a real find. That does not mean you should give up your current plan of attack, but in addition to sending resumes, consider these ways to strengthen your network and expand your job- hunting horizon. • Search bankruptcy filings. Many companies that file for bankruptcy protection go through "reorganiza- tion" rather than liquidation. It is not unusual for a company to emerge from this process stronger than it was before. Usually, the old management is gone. What a great opportunity for someone like you to show your man- agement and survival skills! • Volunteer and nonprofit organi- zations. While you are searching for employment, why not give back to your community by volunteering your services and talents with a non- profit organization? Besides the obvi- ous benefit of helping others, you will meet all kinds of influential people from the community, including lead- ers of successful companies around town who sit on the boards of non- profits or who volunteer their time as well. Build relationships with these people and you might find your- self employed at their compa- ny. • Awards ceremonies. Check the local paper and chamber of commerce for scheduled awards cere- monies. If they are open to the public, plan to attend. You will discover that people in decision-making positions from other com- panies will also be in attendance because they want to be seen and asso- ciated with winners. Attend the banquet and you might find yourself seated next to an influen- tial individual. Reach out. Introduce yourself and begin conversation. Each person you meet is a new addition to your network. • Small companies. One advantage of a small company over a large cor- poration is the lack of layers. Many times, they have the flexibility to cre- ate new jobs on the fly if you present yourself in a way that compels them to think you would be a great addition to the team. • Trade journals. It's possible the trade journals for your industry are available at your local library. If not, you may want to subscribe. These journals can be a great resource to scope out unadvertised jobs. Read between the lines of stories. Are there technological developments in your field? Are there changes in the way your industry is funded? Are there new pro- grams, products or services that are being developed or launched? All of these developments could mean job opportunities. If you come across an interesting article, contact the author as a starting point to launch a conversation. • Company websites. Companies often advertise job openings and have career information posted on their websites, and that can open up a world of positions that aren't advertised in the classifieds. Use Internet search engines to identify companies in your area that are of interest to you.

After lunch hikers trek westward atop a long ridge with stunning vistas all along the route. The hike include talks on the Sutter Buttes unique geology, biology and his- tory, including stories of the Maidu and Wintun Indians who cherish the mountain as a sacred landform.
