MSNBC.com recently posted an article that further proves the value of social networking. Rusty Weston explains in his article that social networks have become a resource for both job seekers and recruiters. Through groups that share a common denominator—for example, a group that is comprised of past employees from a particular company—members of social networks can work together to share their connections and set themselves up for possible job recruitment. LinkedIn® seems to be the best place for this type of activity since its focus is on professional social networking over, well, merely-social social networking. Social networks aren’t just for those seeking jobs; headhunters and job recruiters are increasingly using social networks to find prospective employees.

If you’re a member of a social network like LinkedIn or MySolutionSpot™, take the time to associate yourself with a group that is relevant to your current position or your past areer experiences. Looking for a job? Optimizing your social networking profile and joining a group that pertains to your work skills is one of the best ways to get noticed. For busines owners and recruiters who are looking for employees, browsing  through groups relevant to your industry can provide you with candidates that have the experience you’re looking for.
