Jobseekers Can Take Advantage of Social Media

by TMT Editor

Social media, for all its proliferation throughout the marketplace, remains challenging to grasp as an application for business. The possibilities are many, of course, and plenty of smart people are figuring it out. As far as our industry is concerned, two companies with recent news posted on the TMT Newswire provide ways for jobseekers to utilize two of the biggest social networks around, Facebook and Twitter, to find their employment.

Arlington Soho, for instance has developed InSide Job, an application that transforms Facebook into a networking tool for jobseekers. Specifically, it allows jobseekers who use it to get in touch with anyone who has interviewed or worked at the company they have targeted themselves. Additionally, eQuest, in an effort to make use of Twitter's viral potential, has added TwitterJobSearch.com to its network of job boards.
