Employed or unemployed? - Look who is hiring/buying at Ntroduction
Based on national statistics, for every 20 people in this country today, 3 of them are unemployed on an average. In this world of social networking and all, how do I know who can help me in my job search and who cannot? Here are some of my thoughts.
I observed a large number of professionals are unemployed but show themselves as employed. Reason? The kind of look you get when you tell someone that you are looking for a job is way-out-of-whack. So, professionals project themselves as employed (you can observe on linkedin about several D-Levels/C-Level professionals who have been off-loaded from their positions long ago but the linkedin profile seems to show that as current)
Well, what does this mean to you? If you are looking for a customer or looking to connect with a hiring manager, that’s misleading information.
However if you are just trying to network with them, then its awesome. I like Linkedin for the same reason that I can grow my network, find where my colleagues are – whether its of use right this minute or not. The only gripe about this is it could be outdated or they may not be ready to buy / hire. Right?
Now, where can I find professionals who are ready to buy product/services or even hire? You can browse for introductions sought or introductions provided to get a clear idea of professionals ready to buy or hire.
