Week 5 EOC: Social Networks and Job Hunting


·         Read Marketing at work 5.1 Brand Ambassadors: Employing Real Customers to Get Out the Word on Chapter 5    2. Understanding Consumer and Business Buyer Behavior.  (page 15 of 59 — printed page 143)
·         Please evaluate the article Job Recruiters Turn to Facebook to Find Candidates - WSJ.pdf found in the dropbox.
·         Develop a 300 word blog post citing both the article  and your book.

“Facebook’s use as a job recruitment tool remains small, but its appeal may be growing. Some recruiters say they have all but eliminated their spending on job boards, which can charge a few hundred dollars per job posting… Others note that while LinkedIn contains a more comprehensive resume database, candidates tend to value referrals from their connections on Facebook more.”
Joe Light, The Wall Street Journal.
