As a director at Myworkster.com, I've heard a ton of different opinions relevant to "social networking." That term comes with a great deal of hype and I think it's time to remind you of something. Networking is nothing new. In fact, you've been doing it all your life and people have been doing it since the beginning of time.
Whether you're asking a peer about a job or asking your brother in law for the name of a good contractor or mechanic, you're networking. Your simply tapping into the resources of friends and colleagues to get the goods and services that you need. And you're doing the same for them.
More recently, you'll find that everyone is talking about networking as it relates to career development and job placement. That is a must, especially in light of today's economy.
In the coming days and weeks, I'll be posting information about useful ways to stay in touch with your friends and others with whom you have an affinity and how to strengthen your outreach. I'll also provide some tips and tools about finding employment and what to do when you do land that interview. IF you're just returning to the job hunt, it's a different world and there are a great deal of things that you'll need to arm yourself with.
If you'd like to contact me directly, you'll find me on Myworkster.com, and you may feel free to reply to this blog and post your findings as well.
