I tend to be a bit of an introvert by nature. I am not good at sales, and that includes selling myself.

After five years of working from home, I am looking for a fulltime position out of the house. I'm always amazed by people that can network. How do you do it? I found a job that really caught my eye and applied through the company's online system. I don't feel like that is enough; I don't want to get lost in a sea of resumes, KWIM?

Do you network? Do you get aggressive in a job search? I'm trying to think outside of my own comfort zone, but I'm not sure where the line is between making myself stand out and being obnoxious, lol. Should I directly email my resume to the Manager of Recruiting?

The sad part of all of this is that I used to be a Recruiting Manager - you'd think I'd have all the answers, lol!

So schmoozers and people persons - what are your tips of the trade??
