@ Greg – Thanks for the comment. I agree — employers on LinkedIn and other social networks may be more serious than others. Thanks for the congrats!

We preach this at every job fair and conference we attend. Employers are looking, so you need to be prepared. Chances are that if an employer is browsing through profiles to find potential employees, you can be pretty sure that the job is worthwhile and pretty exciting. Congrats to your husband!

@ Tom – thanks for the post. It’s great to hear that recruiters in your industry are using social networking too. More proof that active and passive job seekers need to be on LinkedIn and Facebook!

Lindsey,

I couldn’t agree more. I have a medical & pharmaceutical sales recruiting company, Tom Ruff Company, and my recruiters are now searching on LinkedIn & Facebook on a regular basis for good candidates. We are having greater success on LinkedIn but I personally think both are good tools for job seekers to utilize.

Thanks for the insight,
Tom
