Recently I added a new friend to my Facebook account. But she is more than a college friend. I see her as a network connection to a potential career choice.
Most students just see Facebook as a way to connect to friends, classmates, and family. Nowadays, it’s a great way to network to potential careers.
I met my new friend a few weeks ago when she came to visit some friends. She works for a company that I would also like to work for one day and for the same job position. She has a ton of advice about the job and will be a great reference when I go to apply.
Next time you log on to Facebook take a look at your friends list. See who is going into what profession, who will be a network tool later in life, and make sure you stay in contact with them. You never know who and when that networking tool will come in handy.
P.S. Make sure that your Facebook page is professional and employer ready. For more information click on the following link:
