What is a social network?
It is a social structure made up of individuals tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, common internet interests, financial exchanges, likes and dislikes. (Wikipedia)
Are they important in your job life?
Yes, they can play a key role in helping you get job leads from your circle of friends, family members and other professionals.
What social networks are available?
There are several. The most popular ones are Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Skype.
Do you pay to join?
No, becoming a member is free. All you need to do is sign up.
How can these networking sites help you get your dream job?
One way is to make a strong impression with your profile. Impress potential employers by adding your employment history, skills, current job details (if you are employed) and photo. Remember that top companies may refer to your profile while hiring. Your profile can function as an extended CV.
Do remember, however to keep it professional. Photos of late-night parties and personal adventures may amuse your friends, but will not necessarily create a good impression on a future boss!
Also: check the profile of your friends, colleagues and associates to get job tips. Find out who is hiring, what they are looking for and related details.
