News – online networks help job-hunting (survey)

From Yahoo News . . . Online networks help job-hunting April 21, 2008 By Julie Mollins.

“Job seekers should tap into online networking sites to help hunt down potential employers, new surveys suggest. The polls, conducted in Canada and the United States on behalf of California-based recruitment firm Robert Half International, showed that most executives believe that professional networking sites will prove useful over the next three years for job seekers…(and there’s more)”

“Of 100 senior Canadian executives interviewed, 67 percent said they thought professional networking sites — such as LinkedIn — were useful for recruiting new employees, and 25 percent said they thought social networking sites like Facebook would be useful.”

  1. Definitely agreed!

    Craigslist, Google, and even WordPress (myself and a number of other bloggers are starting to post job opportunities here now) can be a big help nowadays for people who are on the job-hunt.
