One of the first things you find in situations where you are meeting new people is that they want to know about your work...what you do. They don't want some long drawn out life history and it would obviously be rude and nonproductive to wave off their interest. Yet, you need to be able to effectively and naturally deliver the info they seek.
By using social networking technology, you provide proof of your technology and communication skills (or lack thereof) depending upon how carefully you utilize the medium. And, by the way, the absence of an online presence is becoming a detriment to successful networking and job search too.
There are a couple of possibilities you might learn about your online presence. One is that nothing comes up about you and the other is that negative info comes up.
The best way to find a job is be able to tell people exactly what kind of job you are seeking. Sometimes people think it is best to keep all options open for any type of job that may come along but that makes it more difficult for others to help you.
To identify your mission in life, start out generally and add more specifics as you go.
The most effective networking is a lifestyle not a solution for job search woes.
Knowing your unique value set will help you stay on target to fulfill the needs that are most important in your life. In that way you honor and take care of yourself first, which will bring a level of peace and help keep your career on track.
This can only come from the inside! Only you know what you prefer and how you would like to live.
