Ask your parents for networking help

Most jobs are found through networking, and your family members count as part of your network. Ask your parents if they'd be willing to brainstorm any of their contacts who might be able to give you general advice or specific job leads. If you're like most young people, you probably haven't spent much time talking to your parents about your specific career goals. You may be amazed at how many people come to your mom and dad's minds when they really think about the people they know.
