These days, not many people are unfamiliar with the concept of social networking -- especially for personal use. What they are unfamiliar with, however, is how to use social networking effectively in their job search and career.
Maintaining a solid network is vital to having a successful career, according to recent research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Between the ages of 18 and 34, the average U.S. worker will hold nine different jobs. And at most, 20 percent of openings will be featured on job boards or in the classifieds, according to the BLS. Given these statistics, workers and job seekers must take their networking beyond cold calls to old friends or e-mails to past employers or referrals.
