How do you successfully market yourself in a job search?

Everyone has heard the phrase, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." And while what you know does play a significant role in landing a job, it's hard to deny that building a strong network can also be an essential element of a job search and career success.
It's important to remember that while your network is there for you, in some respects, your network isn't about you.
A crucial yet often overlooked part of networking is what you can bring to others in your network.
Even during a job search, make sure you're balancing the types of communications you have with your network.
