The internet has certainly changed the game, but don’t forget the power of face-to-face networking. Its almost never been about what you know, but rather who you know, and now is no different.

All the freelance jobs I have gotten in the past was through online/internet means and the last 9 to 5 job I got was through Facebook. Amazing what the internet can do now huh? I have yet to see the power of Twitter when it comes to job searching. Also, LinkedIn isn’t as popular in other countries.

Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook (in that order) are fast becoming the channels for new jobs. I have written a few posts on the topics and can tell there is a lot of interest from most job seekers in social media. If I were Monster, I’d be scared now!

I agree that social networks are great tools for job seekers and can help them maximize both the hidden and advertised job markets. TwitterJobSearch and TweetMyJobs are nice tools to source leads. Twellow is a nice “yellow page directory” to locate company insiders on Twitter for your targeted companies. LinkedIn is a great tool to use to locate company insiders using the advanced search and joining relevant groups to demonstrate your expertise and meet new people.
