8/19 Workshop: Social Networking Platforms
Social networking is a business networking phenomenon that is used by employers, recruiters and job seekers for making connections. Many job seekers now use multiple social media platforms to find contacts at their target companies to help educate them about a company, to get an inside look at particular positions or to perform due diligence and follow-up on negotiating job offers. Social networks also provide employers and recruiters with the ability to post jobs, and job seekers with the ability to search for jobs.
