Chapter 2 of our series on how to find people to network with using Google.

In our previous cast of Google job search tips, we demonstrated the opportunities you could find to expand your network searching for just your town and the word business. We found a multitude of opportunities for you to meet other professionals just using that simple search.

The people at the events we found were likely to be in a range of specialisms. What if you want to meet people who carry out similar work to you? They’re may know about the kind of opportunities you’re interested in. Again, it’s a simple Google search away.

Near Here app by Hoovers (D&B)

Thanks for another great episode, Mark & Mike!

In this show, you mentioned passing hundreds of businesses while driving a mile on the freeway. An app I found recently, is "Near Here", sponsored by Hoover's, and it uses your location to show the businesses near you. I wish this existed 5 years ago when I was searching for local work and looking at  [poor] signage over my shoulder while driving. So many of the companies are "Hidden" inside of office buildings, with only a logo or 20 characters on the marquee sign to offer a clue as to what they do.

Here is the app link: http://www.hoovers.com/marketing/100005747-1.html
