Networking is a highly effective career development and job search technique. Savvy individuals use professional networking to gradually build mutually beneficial relationships that first yield information and advice but may ultimately result in a job lead, interview or offer.

The UR Career Network, with some 2,500 members, is a good place to start exploring career options and gathering general information on jobs in particular fields.
