Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, especially the "right" people - those who are clearly about making a positive impact on their surrounding community. Another great bit of advice.

And to your second point, if you live in a city that isn't saturated in social media (or even if it is) - there is always room for you to go out and create something of your own. Everything has to start somewhere - why not be the driving factor to get the ball moving yourself? Thanks for coming by and sharing some advice!

It wasn't intuitive to me, but I have learned the value in putting myself out there. When you're in that type of environment with somebody new, it's also a lot easier to find common interests and truly make a connection. Another way to use social media is to start your own local community. I started a Ning for Project Managers in Louisville, called LouisvillePM, a year after I moved here. It's easy to do, and can differentiate you as a local expert in your niche if you start organizing and throwing events with the community you create. -chris Matt,

You are another prime example of someone who networked like crazy and to say it paid off would be an understatement! Great advice Grace – use your current network connections to establish new ones.

I compiled a list of anyone in Boulder. I didn't care what they did, where they worked or their age because each person can help acclimate you, may know someone else who is hiring, they can offer insight, etc. This list that I compiled led to my current job.
