 Looking to Network with IT professionals

Having recently been made redundant, I am seeking new employ and finding traditional methods for job hunting are leading to 'dead ends' - lack of response from letters, non-returned emails and phone calls, unhelpful agencies etc

As such, I am now looking at alternative routes into the 'hidden job market' and have identified networking as one which may be key to me and others in a similar situation.

I am canvassing my peers, friends, ex-colleagues and people like yourself for advise/information/sources and attempting to help others as much as help myself - I am not intending to sell this or set up a business, just use it as an information portal to benefit all in a similar situation. I have set up a website www.kevinclark.supanet.com as initial point of contact for interested parties.

I would appreciate any advice, comments (adverse or otherwise), contacts, information etc. and have started a discussion thread on the web site.

I will gladly collate the results of this feedback and pass it back on my website in the hope that it will prove useful to other members and their friends, family etc in a similar position.

Feel free to pass this on to anyone you feel this will help and anyone you feel could help me.

Thanks for your time and consideration.
