Networking is an art, but that doesn't mean you should avoid it! Summon up some confidence in your abilities, and either meet some new people at a local event, or schedule an informational interview with someone over coffee.
This social practice has always been the secret to finding unique career opportunities. Show your personality by expanding and strengthening your network!
