WHAKATE

I just came across an article in the New York Times that I found interesting and well written.

It is about how social networking sites like Linkedin, Facebook or MySpace can or cannot be useful in a job search. What I liked was how the article makes it clear, that for job searches it is better to keep the networking well separated from the social. While that is not an earth-shattering finding in itself, keeping it in mind from the beginning, when starting to use such a network, can make all the difference later.

Well worth reading in my humble opinion.

I thought this article could have been published in Whakate too. As it was not, here is the link so that Whakate readers may enjoy it too:
