Document Summary
Ids 159 lecture 25 chapter 6: social networking. The social network theory: social networking is a skill that each of us can develop, improve, and refine, we are all a part of social networks. Our network might consist of people who we know/who we don"t know through different sites: the complexity of these connections looks like a spider web. The strength of the weak ties: when looking for jobs, consider that most positions are found in the hidden job market since they are not advertised publicly. Strong and weak ties provide crucial resources in finding these jobs. If you want to build a strong network that will help you move ahead in your career, it is vital first to take stock of the connection you already have, as it says: It is important to be aware of what you already have going for you .
