An article in the November 29, 2009, issue of The Dallas Morning News, page 1J, “Ready to Go Social to Land A Job” by ARAcontent, lists some important questions to ask yourself and be then prepared to go social. The questions by Marc Scoleri, a career services professional, seems to describe the ideal position for a job seeker. Unfortunately, job seekers are not typically able to be so discriminating in this job market.
Snabon-Health says that socializing and networking are important and suggests the following ideas:
1. Joining and volunteering with professional organizations in your field of interests.
2. Attending monthly meetings and social mixers.
3. Meeting hiring managers that are difficult to contact during business hours.
4. “Putting yourself out there; it’s who you know that can help get you in the door, and it’s what you know that keeps you there.”
