Job hunting on facebook

Thanks for the information ma'am

job hunting on facebook is possible; if candidate find the right recruiters or recruiters find the right candidate.

ya pragti mam u said right...

Facebook is a social networking site, we can not consider it as a business networking site or a job portal. But it is a very good tool for Marketing your business and products. If you are serious about job hunting through a networking website, I would suggest you to be active in linkedin rather than struggling in Facebook.

thanks all of you.

wow! power of networking:) thanks for the info:)

Thanks Renne for referral and Good tips.

Thanks for sharing , Renne. & thanks for referral.

"Thanks Renne. Social networking is a very powerful tool or medium not only for job seekers but also for job lenders. its usually not taken seriously but need to think on those areas as well, To put light on it's used for backgroud verification also many a times..."

Its depends upon the users, mainly social networking site are used as interacting with friends and keep all friends in touch, may be also for career and job hunt,,,

Thanks,Renne. As a matter of fact 'Facebook' is social interactive site.The friends or acquaintances exchange views or whereabouts.Friends may help in rehabilitating a friend.The Facebook is also being used for variety of businesses and HR also can pool their resources.  

I disagree with you. Sites like FB are more for networking or getting in touch with long lost friends. I doubt whether it could land you a job. I would prefer linkedin or toostep for that instead which are not social networking sites in the exact sense as FB. They are more of industry networking sites. 

But again i may be proved wrong because social media is still evolving and one cant rule out anything at this juncture.

hi renne, ya u cn say that but it depends that whthr ur in touch with the right person or not directly, and he/she must be in position to help u out.

Premier jobs are available ,try to get a good job with facebook

Thanks for sharing. Yes you are right.

I think your opinion is right.

I don't think it is a good idea to look for a job using a site like facebook. By putting your request on facebook you will be able to reach a much wider audience but honestly you have no control as to who should know that you are looking for a job. Your request could get into the hands of anti social elements, your competitors, you jealous co-workers etc who could sabotage your job hunt.

yes, i agree with you that social networking site can also work as job hunt but not always as people only wants to interact with each other and nothing more than that.

I do not know how many of you have ever experienced the evil side of social networking sites.
First of all it is not reliable, people inside the face book use the site for fun and the official sites are operating more for a kind of free publicity of their brand name rather than any serious effort to exchange job profiles for the job seekers. It may be a perfect site to say Hi , hello to your friends and relatives but not to the unknown as many persons are using this platform by hiding their real identity in disguised manner. I am sorry to say that I opted to close my profile twice in Facebook and is not interested even.
The most interesting part that I would like to share is that when the existing most popular JOB SITES are becoming failure to tap the potential work force, I am a bit confused, how can social networking sites can help the jobseekers.

I think this is one option 90% people never consider.

Thanks Renne for the topic

Social networking has become a regular job scnner and referance nowadays.Thanks Renne for bringing this topic for discussion

Renne yes sounds interesting. At the same time one should not be a job hopper since by every passing day the benefits are on the increase for all new entrants.

First of all thanks Renne for sharing this interesting topic. Yes Social networking is the ideal way for job searching but it will work when it should be in an appropriate manner. Through social networking sites we can keep in touch with many people from various  work backgrounds even we can share our knowledge and ideas which can improve our knowledge & skills on particular field or topic. One can join and be a part & parcel of  the community or a group of his/her interests which can help a job hunter to get the best suited job to his profile or even can improve the work knowledge by asking the and taking help from the experienced people.
