Social Media Services
Overview
Social media sites continue to evolve. Some that are popular today may be replaced by new technologies in the future.
As social media sites are playing an increasing role in the job search, it is important to keep up with the latest technologies and how they can help you.
Your local WorkForce Center can help you stay current in terms of websites and other Web-based resources.
Social networking services such as LinkedIn and Facebook are Web-based platforms that unite people with similar interests, tastes and professions.
Facebook and Twitter, two of the most popular networks, function mainly as a medium for people to communicate with old friends and acquaintances. But that role is steadily evolving to include discussions and groups related to careers. LinkedIn, on the other hand, focuses entirely on people in the business community.
