Impacts To Job Search• Have you ever asked yourself, why do I need to
spend time on social networking for any reasons other than purely social activities? “Employers are actively using social networking sites to recruit candidates for employment and they are also using social media to check out applicants”.

In Today’s Economic Times, People Get Jobs Based On Who They Know & Less Because of What They Know
What If I Am Shy or An Introvert?
Family• Facebook allows users to
see friends of friends provided users have not specified otherwise. For example, if Terry is a friend of mine, and she allows me to "friend?" her, and her mother is also a friend of hers, then I can "see?" her mother's profile, and her friends as well. The potential to meet new people this way is great.
Passions• Pick absolutely anything
that interests you and type that word or phrase into the “Advanced Search” box on LinkedIn. For instance, let’s say you love basketball. Just type “basketball” and your results will show the profiles of anyone on LinkedIn who mentions it.
