When I was "let go" a couple of years ago from a small printing company, a couple of the contacts I made were able to find me more work. My recommendation: use Plaxo to keep your contacts synchronized regularly. This is absolutely spot-on.

One thing I would add to your post here is that, if you use Microsoft Outlooks for your contacts, export them frequently and take them home on floppy or on disk. Don't e-mail them to yourself, though. I found to my dismay, that Outlook can be set to strip the information from your address book files when you e-mail it. I lost a good number of contacts that way. I e-mailed them to myself on my last day, and by the time I realized it had stripped the data from the file, my access had been cut off. To be on the safe side, I usually export to Excel, just incase the next job isn't using Outlook. Most modern e-mail readers will import contacts from an Excel spreadsheet if they don't from Outlook files. It’s funny, but I was blogging about this just a couple of weeks ago.
