will social networks help get you a job???…too early to tell
it is the rage..plaxo, linkedin, facebook…and now twitter??? ..folks publishing books on how these things will find you a job…oh, brother..
i’m old enough to remember when the fax machine was gonna revolutionize the world..(i placed a sale guy with burroughs one time who was hire to sell fax machines…for $100,000 a machine…)
and the world was gonna go “paperless” with the advent of the internet…and we use more paper than we ever have..
hey, look..i’m in the trenches every day helpng people find jobs..one person at a time..i really don’t have time to care if you twitter me that you have to go to the bathroom…and neither do our clients or your future employer..in fact, it may get quite annoying
but, if any of these things help you get face-to-face interviews…have at it..but don’t hold your breath and think that they are going to revolutionize your job search..or above all, make you a better candiadate..
one of these books about getting hired via the internet never even mentioned being interviewed or how to do it…
don’t be suprised if all these things go the way of the job boards…simply so much information it is overwhelming…
again, use this stuff if it helps you feel good or helps you get an interview…but don’t expect it to be the “answer”
