Yes, it’s always been important to know people who know people. Networking is essential in every line of work. However, with the advent of social network sites, networking has taken on a whole new meaning. Now job seekers can network through social network sites.
Social network sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn all boast about how they offer people the opportunity to connect with friends and family, but job seekers can also connect with employers.
Using Twitter to Find a Job
According to the Wall Street Journal Twitter offers employers an alternative to big online job boards as a way to find and attract candidates. The benefit – besides the fact that it’s free – is that employers can post short job announcements and get immediate feedback from followers. Plus companies can convey a trendy image to users who are “social-media-savvy job hunters.”
