In countless articles about finding jobs in a tough job market, experts emphasize that networking is still one of the best ways to get a job. With so many job applicants, you need more than just experience and a great resume to get an interview – you need the recommendation of a person. On MeetingWave, we are seeing resourceful people post invites for networking meetings to find a job, job leads or just to expand their real-world network over coffee or lunch. Most jobs (some say 60% or higher) are found through contacts, rather than ads or recruiters (See, Success Job Search Networking by Alice Doyle, about.com). MeetingWave is a powerful tool to make networking easy and effective.
To get an idea of how you can use MeetingWave to accelerate your job search, here are some invites posted on our website:
Job Hunting Networking Environmental Field
Marketing Professional looking for an Opportunity
Networking I’m Looking for a Job
Job Hunting Accounting
Social Network
Administrative Everything For Hire
Job Seeker – BeComm Student Final Year
We suggest you post one or more invites yourself, as well as set up one or more Meeting Alerts on the Advanced Search page to be notified of new invites being posted near you. This is important as we are seeing more recruiters posting invites on MeetingWave.
For those still looking, we wish you luck in finding your next job opportunity.
