If you’ve been reading about careers and jobs over the past several years, you will no doubt have read that the best jobs never find their way to the newspaper want ads, or even online job boards. That’s because they are filled by people who are referred by friends and colleagues.

But to find those few, you have to wade through all the others and that can take up a lot of your time.
