There’s an interesting article on the PMI (Project Management Institute) website about Breaking into Entry Level Jobs. It starts out with the Catch-22 that every Entry Level Job seeker faces:

Need a job?
You have to have experience.

Need experience?
You have to have a job.

Sad, but true. But regardless of whether you fall into this category or not, there is some good solid advice in the article from some generous PMPs.

One thing that really caught my eye was a section on networking and how it’s important to network outside of the online world:

Although sites like LinkedIn can be a tremendous resource for networking, nothing beats building those bonds face-to-face.

This is great advice. While many social networking tools are great for initially meeting people, it’s hard to compare with the bond two people can create when meeting in person. It’s easy to lose this perspective from time to time.

Anyway, it’s a short article but a great read. Check it out here.

Thanks to Jen for pointing out this article!
