What's the next big thing? I mean, like computers, then internet, email, search, social networking, and so on. So...

Yes, right now social networking is exploding on the internet. You can make many friends and promote yourself. Networking sites are still one of the best tools to find employment. I have found that by joining many different social networking forums and communities, you are able to introduce yourself to a broader, more worldwide audience. These sites are great free resources to assist you with your job search. If you take the time to choose your words well, add new friends, visit their profiles, add comments or discussions to help them, then you are much more likely to succeed with social networking. If you come across as too pushy, then you are likely to lose valuable business contacts.
