Hi,
The link below has some additional information on networking.
http://www.careerlab.com/art_secrets.htm
I found this part of the article to be pretty informative:
If you're wondering what else to ask in a networking session, try these on for size: How does my resume look? What would you change or modify? Are my letters crystal clear? Do you have any advice or ideas for me? Who else should I be talking to? Are there any groups or organizations I should attend? Are there any books or publications I should read? What would you do if you were me? Who would you be talking to?
Note from Damon: This approach appears to be valuable because you are creating a feedback loop. You are also seeking outside information from others to help you make your job search easier. The fact that open-ended questions are asked probably helps to create a dialogue much easier.
