Chan began looking for a job after he settled into his friend's apartment. 

Her first week in the country, she bought a newspaper and began to investigate potential job openings in the Help Wanted section.

His friend said that people called this networking.

The very next day, she started to go in person to companies in order to fill out applications.

He did not bother reading the Help Wanted section because his friend explained to him that the best method to find work was speaking with friends, acquaintances, and contacts.

Marina planned to search for work as soon as she arrived in the United States.
