In today’s economy, it is difficult to get a job. Every state in the United States is affected by unemployment. There are some who have been affected for years. What is the best way to get a job in today’s economy? Is it to network, or is it to apply for every single job description that you meet? How do you focus on setting goals to reach your ideal job?

Networking:

Networking is a great way to learn about the hidden job market. Through job websites, like Craigslist, Indeed, and Monster, you can have access to thousands of previously hidden jobs.
When using the World Wide Web to network and apply for jobs, remember the following:
-H/R Representatives will often check your Facebook, Myspace, or LinkedIn page to see the content on the page
- Information you post on your Facebook, Myspace, and other profiles can help get you hired, or it can help get you fired
- Google your name early and Google your name often; make sure nothing offensive comes up that would scare off future, potential employers. Do this about once a week during the job search, especially if your last name is uncommon.
- Go on informational interviews to help connect to the hidden job market.Still bored? Click to continue: Is Facebook the new Myspace
