Friend, Follow and Connect Your Way Into a Position

Looking for a part time or full time position?  Social networking is growing and as it does so does the capacity for serious job-seekers to find a job.   You may just find the perfect job where you haven't been looking - social networking sites you already are on.  If you "tweet", "friend", or "connect" on a social network,  you can go to "groups" and begin "following" your way to a position.  On some sites, you receive notifications as jobs are posted - and this often is prior to listings in the local news or on the large internet job sites.

Many large companies have found this method of advertising the most effective and least expensive.  By posting jobs on sites such as LinkedIn, an employer can not only receive resumes or information requests for positions, they can also view profiles and read recommendations.  It is a real time saver and also is very efficient.  Savvy job seekers who keep their profile up to date and professional can move to the front of the line...and into employment.
