We have noticed a massive surge of online networking / social marketing where people are finding opportunities due to this form of communication. Get yourselves a Twitter and LinkedIn account and join up with the members of Gloss Creative Recruitment you know (if you haven't done already).
Lots of people use Linkedin half heartedly as a way to present themselves but LinkedIn recently celebrated their 45 millionth sign up so either people are fearing not being involved or this site has real substance. According to comScore (thanks Jude @ Turnkey), LinkedIn had 16mil unique visitors in June 2009 – up from 7.7 million a year ago. The majority of these users are business people looking to make work connections with other like-minded professionals.
By using sites such as LinkedIn and Tiwtter you can connect with a targeted group of people working in the same sector as you that you could possibly collaborate with in some way of another. Its another way of getting you and your work seen away from the sea of CVs on jobsites. Twitter allows you to meeting business and professionals that normally wouldn't be available simply by following them and offering some of your own expertise to the ethernet.
Give it a try if you haven't already as we have already noticed the benefits!
