Social Networking and the Job Search - It is not just about numbers

Are you like many other job seekers ... in a desperate hunt for more followers and more links to all social media networking sites? After all, the more you have, the more you increase your chances of finding work faster, right?

Here's my take:

We all know the old saying that goes something like this: It's quality, not quantity, matters. Unfortunately, in our society today, this concept is often lost. We want to talk too much about the quality of all aspects of our lives, ITIL and Six Sigma quality methods in the market for "quality time" with our children and family health / lifestyle quality practices.

When it comes to social networking (or face-to-face networking, for that matter), the same principle applies.

You can build as many connections Rush as possible, but that does not mean it. All useful for you
And then you have wasted valuable time in finding a job. On the other hand, the best quality connection with your job search, the
more effective, but it takes time to cultivate. So what makes a job seeker to do? Remember that networking is productive, but have strategic about it. Once tapped in to your personal network, start building connections in the social network with niche products who specialize in your area has to offer excellent resources, and give you links other key professionals. Search for job search group social network where you can connect with other job seekers, who can benefit from your network and vice versa. These techniques to carry out quality networking.
