Employment opportunites through Social Networking

LinkedIn is an online network of more than 25 million experienced professionals. LinkedIn members have the opportunity to "speak" to perspective employers and employers have a large number of resumes to sort through. "Friends" can be easily connected and a job match may be the result. LinkedIn is a very valuable resource to those who have lost their jobs - their relationships made during their careers now extends from those they have met and made an impression on to all their new "friends" that they could be linked to.

LinkedIn is different than face book - although it is a social networking site - because it is predominantly used to maintain business relationships. Face Book is is strictly used to maintain social relationships. Face Book is checked by employers, however when researching hopeful employees. People should be very careful when posting on Face book.
