Anyone received a job offer initiated through facebook, LinkedIn or others? As we all know the best way to get a job or a client is by referral from a friend or associate within. Social networking is just another form of communication although it certainly helps keep you in the thoughts of others when an opportunity comes up. People looking for jobs still use job search sites but they also increasingly put the word out on their social nets that they are available – or that a friend of theirs is looking.
Social Networking is growing, but use of Job Search Engines, isn’t – and therefore, people are finding, more and more, jobs using their network of friends, and often, bypassing traditional job search engines, as they don’t offer the richness of experience that a social network comprising of friends, has.
