Write down a list of people in your professional network. these are the people you could ask about any job openings in your area. this can include friends, previous bosses, teachers, coaches, and possibly family members. you could ask them to provide a reference for an application, write you a letter of reference if needed, or speak to employers positively about your work ethic. after writing down the names, explain if you think you need to grow your network. what actions can you take?
