Using LinkedIn and Social Networks in Job Hunting
- 1. USING AND OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS FOR JOB HUNTING International Futures Student Conference March 2011 www.careers.lon.ac.uk/international Andrew Falconer Careers Adviser http://uk.linkedin.com/in/agfalconer
- 8. Getting answers I'm at the business plan writing phase of a web based Pakistan based out of Karachi, Pakistan. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with starting up in Pakistan with whom I can bounce questions and ideas of the experience and the do's and don'ts of raising capital. Location specific: Pakistan though I have never started a business in Pakistan I have worked with many companies from there. There are some top web development companies there and I am sure that you can find many in Karachi. If you wanted to learn how to start your business I suggest you speak to some established web dev firms from there. A good way to find them, and see if they are for real or not is by going to elance, finding providers related to your field in Karachi, and seeing based on their earnings if they have a customer base or not. Then approach them. I'm sure you'll get some interesting info.

- Plaxo has 30m users and is a firm competitor to Linked In. Advice to job seekers is to use both but Linked In has a stronger brand in some countries. Who is your market? Who do you need to connect with? The answer will lead to different platforms.
- Co-Founder Allen Blue set it up to solve a problem. As an entrepreneur he relied heavily on those people he knew and on recommendations. He reckons that every professional becomes more successful if they have access to answers to tough work questions, from people they know and trust. Hence a network built on trust relationship. It requires a proactive approach. Clicking the “Jobs” tab is not necessarily any different from using any other jobs site. Linked In offers so much more. Be prepared to work at it and to put time in. Don’t get distracted by the social aspects of Facebook, LinkedIn is the professionals network.
