Networking is more important than ever when you’re looking for a job and on this bonus episode of Find Your Dream Job, Doug Hunter (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhunterdigital/) and I talk about how he continued to build his network as part of his job search. Doug also shares how he dealt with the rejection inherent to any job search.
