The Two Kinds of Job Search Networking
Networking plays an important role in job search. It is where people meet, explore new business relationships, exchange ideas and share valuable knowledge, information and job opportunities. There are two kinds of job search networking: the informal job search networking and the formal job search networking.
Informal job search networking is a direct approach to friends, college alumni, community leaders, associations or just about anyone to generate job leads, information and advice.
Formal job search networking, on the other hand, involves joining an established network (mostly online) to be more exposed to the employment world. Same with informal networking, it connects a person to a community of people and organization for potential job opportunities.
Both the informal and the formal job search networking produce good results in helping people get the job they want. It largely depends on one�s beliefs and values what kind of networking to join in.
