Social Networks and Job Finding

1. LinkedIn is considered the number 1 spot for job seekers. With more than 35 million users.What you must do is optimize your profile, join and participate in groups, use its applications and exchange endorsements.


2. Plaxo is very interesting because of the address book that keeps track of all your contact information, including a Yahoo!Map indicating where your contacts live.


3. Twitter is an amazing tool although I must confess I still don't understand the way the conversations flow or how I can add to a discussion. Anyway, it is considered an amazing tool "if you can unlock its power"


4. Jobster is said to be a powerful platform for employers offering jobs and for employees searching for them. You can upload your resume, embed your video resume, show your picture, tag your skills and show links to your site.
