Find a Job by Social Networking
There are many ways to find jobs, and many jobs out there that are looking to hire someone like you. The single best way of finding a job is through your social groups, and by networking socially. In fact statistically the majority of people with 100k+ jobs found them by knowing the right person who got them their job. So what is the trick? It isn’t already knowing the right person, although that helps, but instead it is meeting the right person.
Whether or not you are good at meeting new people, you can easily meet the right person to get you a job. First of all it is important to analyze the resources currently available to you. This means brainstorming anyone who might know someone else that can get you a job. Guess what? That’s probably 90% of the people you know. The other 10% are retired, and keep to themselves.
By asking your acquaintances to introduce you to people to help you find a job you will build a bigger network. Ask an acquaintance at the gym if they know anybody that has positions available in a company, or they can introduce you to anyone that may be able to point you in the right direction. If you don’t have many friends that can help, start by going to the local grocery store, and if you see someone reading a label, walk beside them and strike up conversation about the contents of the food, or anything you can think of. Then as you set a friendly tone between you and the person, ask them if they can help you find a job. If not tell them it was a pleasure, and go find someone else. By doing this you will meet more and more people, and your network will grow, and you will inevitably find a job.
If you’re not a people person then you’re not out of luck. By the inception of social networks online, you’re able to meet new friends through the internet that may be able to help you. The trick here is to start with people you know, or people that won’t be alarmed if you suddenly contact them in regards to a job. Don’t just get in touch with anyone, but join a Facebook group, or follow a twitter feed. Leave comments on other peoples pages letting any reader know what you’re looking for. The great part about doing this is that people will contact you to hire you.
