I realize how important it is to network with your friends, family (even the ones you normally don't talk to) neighbors, previous co-workers, current ones, if they all know your plans or can keep a secret depending on your work situation.... anyone who will take the time to hear you out and what your are attempting to accomplish. One or two who you speak to could possibly know of someone in that area. The key is finding that person. Obviously, it is easier to start with someone you know at an employer that just throwing that resume of yours into the hat of hundreds of other resumes. Get their name, number, email address if possible. Call them, introduce yourself. Make those important connections. They may not have a position for you, but they may know of another manager or even have a friend at another company they can refer you to.
Regardless, make every effort to make those connections. Cast a wide net. You may come back without a nibble or it could lead to a bigger fish.
