The Importance of Networking in Recruitment and Job Hunting
ByAjit Nair, Kenexa
There are generally three types of people looking for jobs—new graduates beginning their careers, individuals who have lost their jobs, and jobholders who are looking for new postings. The days when a job meant a lifetime commitment are long gone, and nowadays, people are not just changing jobs, they are also switching professions. Whatever the reason, anyone interested in finding a job has essentially three avenues available:
- Scanning the newspapers for job advertisements
- Registering on a job board and applying against the job ads
- Networking with hiring managers/employees of possible employers
