For Finance people like me, the FENG (Financial Executives Networking Group) is an amazing source for networking. FENG was born out of Matt Bud’s job transition and today hosts over 36,000 senior finance professionals.
Members can reach out to one another directly and each night there is a national newsletter with commentary by Matt, meeting notices and job listings. Finding FENG opened up a whole new world of networking and gave a turbo boost to my search.
Professional groups can be a great source of support and networking. Many groups have services dedicated to job transition. Even though people are in the same profession, they are not always looking for the same jobs. Also, members are usually open to connecting to one another, especially those who have been in transition.
Writer’s note: Matt Bud’s Blog offers great insight to networking. Check it out at www.thefeng.org
