Now in the 21 st century, as the stock market and job market compete to outdo each other, networking has become more important for recruiters seeking candidates, as opposed to job seekers searching for jobs as it was during the first half of the nineties. Here s one of my insider secret ways of using the Internet for powerful networking which I m willing to share with fellow recruiters. If you ve never used Yahoo chat before, you ll need to fill out a simple on line registration form and come up with a user ID and password. It should only take seconds to fill out. You ll notice when filing out your yahoo chat handle you ll be given an option to complete a personal Profile on your self.
Some people never put information in the profile section but many do.
And that s why Yahoo chat can become a powerful networking resource. Because numerous users DO fill out the profile form and often include what they do for work, hobbies, or proved professional information. Some go as far putting their entire home address on their profile and include pictures and more web links. Others fill out several profiles with each containing different personal information to go with a certain handle . Once you have your password and have access, log into Yahoo chat.
