Is Your Career Social?

So, do you have any online social network accounts? Adults who don’t have a social network account - e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook or even Twitter - might be doing themselves a huge disfavor careerwise. In the midst of this recession, many people are out of work, with many more concerned that they’ll be laid off.

While there are mixed opinions about whether job sites are really the way to find work for most careers, at least many job seekers seem to agree that referrals from friends and colleagues tends to be a sure way to finding work. So the wider your network, the better your chances of finding a new job. Even if you’re employed, you can stay on top of the job market.

In addition to networking, and whether or not you’re looking for work, there are ways to stand out in a recession - things you can do to shore up your job seeking approach and your attitude to career. Or you could always work for yourself - be a freelancer, contractor and an all-around entrepreneur/ webpreneur.
