You never know where your next job might come from, so it pays to network whenever and where ever possible. For example, if you regularly frequent a restaurant and are friendly with the wait staff and/or manager, it can't hurt to mention you're in the market for a new job — sometimes they might know of another customer who's looking to hire!
