LAND YOUR DREAM JOB - THROUGH NETWORKING SITES AND TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN JOB PORTALS
Ever thought of logging on to a social networking website to find a job? These sites have become a huge hit with job seekers in
At a time when recession has hit people hard, social networking sites like Apnacircle.com, Linkedin.com, ibibo.com and Facebook are giving a tough competition to job portals.
ApnaCircle.com, a career-cum-social networking site, generates over five million page reviews in a month and have about half a million registered users on their websites, which was launched in the year 2006 in India.
Likewise in the US
Another advantage of this unique site www.clearmybench is that it not only fetches jobs from Major Sites, it also provides opportunity to Post jobs, Post Resumes, Post Hot Lists, Post Classifieds, Recruiter/Job Seeker Networking, Career Forums, Blogs and More. To avoid annoying log-ins, Clear My Bench users do not have to register to view content and above all www.clearmybench is a FREE Service.
I got a reference about a job opening through my friend on one of these sites. I checked the site and applied for the job. After an interview, I was finally placed with 3G Soft Solutions,' said an overjoyed Timothy Haggins.
For many software engineers listing a profile on these websites is like giving a classified advertisement in a newspaper. Through sites such as these, one gets to network with different people from different personal and professional spaces that can be useful in building contacts and getting us the desired jobs. As soon as the profile appears on the site, one gets a SMS and sometimes the sites themselves offer jobs. Another benefit of these sites is that many employers often visit various career oriented groups and communities on these sites to hunt for the right employee.
Websites like www.clearmybench provide the opportunity to build up a professional network, where prospective employers and employees come to network, connect and build relevant contacts. Various job openings are also listed in a section from where you can look out for job opportunities.
Agreeing that these websites act as an added benefit for job seekers, Shipra D E., a freelance writer, said she got her dream job after she posted 'looking for a job' status on her profile on one of these websites.
'I posted my current resume and added the status messages as 'looking for a job'. In response to this, I got e-mails and posts from interested employers, friends on my list and friends of friends,' said 24-year-old Shipra who is freelancing for a firm.
She said these sites also offer a unique opportunity as there are communities that one can visit to befriend those working in a company that one wants to join.
'People log on to communities and groups of various companies on these sites. So it is easy to make friends with them and it is also good to build one's contact for the future,' she added.
For students like Archana Bharadwaj, the future looks a bit brighter. 'Even though I am a student still, I network on such sites so that I can start building contacts from now itself,' said Richard, who is a third year student of computer science engineering.
I make it a point to add people employed with top software firms and, who knows, I may get a call from Microsoft,' he said. Earlier people used to run from pillar to post to build contacts, but now it is possible at just the click of a mouse.
That’s the Combination of the Power of Technology and Networking.
