The best social sites for finding a job, via the Godfather o
Published: Feb 27, 2009
Yesterday I brought you (and myself, mostly) up to speed on Dan Schawbel's Personal Branding Blog. Since I seem to have become a major proponent of social networking sites as job search tools, I felt like I should pass along Dan's guest-post on Mashable from a few days ago. In it, he sets forth a detailed list of his Top 10 social sites for finding a job. Some are very familiar (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), others are a bit outside the mainstream (VisualCV, Ecademy), and while I wouldn't say I was at all surprised to see Craigslist on there, I feel like I tend to overlook the popular search site as a great job resource. I guess that's why Schawbel is the godfather and I'm just a squirrel, tryin to get a nut. Here's how his list shakes out:
- Plaxo with Simply Hired
- Twitter with blog or LinkedIn URL
- Jobster
- Craigslist
- MyWorkster with Indeed
- VisualCV
- JobFox
- Ecademy
