Atlas asked:


I work in IT for a big company but my job is about to be eliminated. The so called experts are saying that the job boards (monster dice etc) and even headhunters almost never work. Same for the company boards. They basically said unless you have a good network of people in your industry at different places, which I don’t have because I worked for the same place with the same few people for years, landing another job will be near impossible. Is this true? If I don’t have the contacts, how can I land a good job?
