collaboration on social networks.<br />
In terms of the time that you should spend on face to face collaboration, as mentioned above<br />
with the business card example, a lot of the real world collaboration should be built into the<br />
fabric of your social routines, e.g., golf club, weekly film, social ‘get togethers’ and so on.<br />
With regards to attending seminars, careers fairs, training etc, while these will provide you with<br />
enhanced job search skills and excellent emotional support, remember you are surrounding<br />
yourself with people who are also looking for jobs. They will be more focused on finding<br />
their own opportunities rather than helping others. This is not a criticism, just a reality. While<br />
there is nothing wrong with attending these events, carefully monitor how many leads and<br />
opportunities arise from these situations and moderate your attendance accordingly.<br />
There is no doubt that collaboration with others, be that through social networks, social groups<br />
or careers events, will enhance your search activity and shorten the amount of time it takes you<br />
to get a job.<br />
