How business and social networking sites is changing the way we find jobs?
How business and social networking sites is changing the way we find jobs?
‘70% of successful job searches depend on personal contacts’-CareerDevelopment Center of Hollins University.The above fact emphasizes the need for having and creating personal contacts and networking. In an age, where job seekers outnumber the available jobs, it has become imperative to be at the right place at the right time. But how will you know where to be at and at what time? Someone has got to inform you. And this is where ‘networking’ assumes importance.
Networking is not a new age phenomenon. The Western world came to know about Indian spices through networking. Trade between the Indus valley civilization and Mesopotamia can be attributed to networking.
The rise of the Internet saw the traditional avatar of networking donning new clothes. While traditional networking allowed making contacts via our acquaintances, online networking allows us to contact people with whom we share something in common. For e.g., online networking allows you to contact someone who shares the same hobby as you or is engaged in the same profession. You can directly approach the person on your own.
Business and social networking sites are changing the way of searching and finding the latest vacancies that exist. More and more people are logging into the virtual world and making appropriate connections to land that dream job. According to COM Score Media Matrix social networking site MySpace.com registered record 50 million visitors in May. It also grew by 318% between February 2005 to February 2006.
Thus, business and social networking sites are witnessing a phenomenal growth rate. But how are business and social networking sites changing the way we find jobs? Social networking makes sure that you are among the first who gets the whiff of the latest job posted. Networking allows the easy and free flow of information. It also makes sure that the information is forwarded at a lightning speed. For e.g. you are a resident of Kentucky looking out for a job as a paralegal. You comb the local newspapers, swamp innumerable law firms with your resumes and make sure that your profile is visible on all job sites that you can possibly think of. And the result- you are still looking for a job. And then a miracle takes place. You are registered with one of the social networking sites. Among your many contacts is an acquaintance with whom you have befriended just because you both are diehard fans of the LA Lakers. He knows about your quest for a job. One day he mails you that his sister’s brother-in-law has a vacancy- they are a legal firm who are in need of a paralegal. Two days later, you are going out for what will be the first day of work. This is the power of online networking.
Business networking sites allow you to get in touch with high-end executives and business professionals. It is often noticed that many times jobs are not advertised. They are filled in through recommendation and referrals. Business networking sites allow you to get in touch with people who are directly involved in the decision making process. Many business-networking sites allow one to paste profile and get connected to people who share the same skill or who are employed in the same profession. These connections can be successfully harnessed to get a job.
Networking also helps one stay in tune with the demands of the industry. For e.g. you are software engineers, currently working on .net platform. You are a member of a social and business-networking site. A high school friend of yours, [with whom you got reconnected through a social networking site] who is also a recruitment consultant informs you that nowadays the focus has started shifting to Java. An IT expert in your business-networking site confirms this fact. Now, you can start upgrading your skill set, so that you can get a bigger pay packet.
Many networking sites also offer offline events. Attending such events is a good way to create new relationships with people who can help you in further career advancements. Networking sites also give an opportunity to contact people who can answer career related queries.
Some networking sites also give opportunity for people to write endorsements about those with whom they have worked. This recommendation can be used for getting better job opportunities. Also there are many business-networking sites that focus on a particular field, industry or profession. Making connections with people who are from the same industry or profession allows one to remain aware of the latest job vacancies; trends and changes taking place in the job market that will help to steal march over others. This is because online networking lets one foster relationship with innumerable people and who can say, when one of them will help us strike gold?
Many business-networking sites also post jobs on their sites. So, you get one more online option to look out for jobs, i.e. in addition to the job portals. Online networking also helps you to build relationships before you can actually ask for a job. And that too without facing the recruiter. It is always better to break the ice in the virtual world before meeting in the real world. This is particularly beneficial to people who are somewhat apprehensive about talking to strangers.
Many of the recruiters also use networking sites for finding out potential employees. In an interview, there is always a chance of the candidate lying about his capabilities, though, the availability of sophisticated software and the various developments taking place in the HR field makes it very easy for the recruiter to spot the lies. In an online networking site, the relationship is established and trust is built over a period. Hence, the recruiter is able to decide the true capabilities of a person. This is also perhaps the reason why more and more recruiters are choosing the ‘networking’ way instead of posting jobs online.
Business and networking sites are thus revolutionizing the way people are getting jobs. More and more people are becoming aware of the power and benefits of online networking. Online methods should be judiciously combined with traditional methods to make sure that you do bag that coveted job.

Camp Bow Wow
Long Island City, NY (PRWEB) July 24, 2008
Tails began wagging on July 18, 2008, as the first Camp Bow Wow® in New York opened for business in Long Island City. Dogs and their two-legged guardians are invited to visit the premiere doggy day care and overnight boarding camp located at 4716 Austell Place, Long Island City, New York at the intersection of Skillman Avenue and Austell Place. Pups are invited to come in and experience an entirely new concept in doggy day and overnight care.
Camp Bow Wow® has a lot to offer to their furry friends. Its upscale environment enables pooches All Day Play, Snooze The Night Away® while receiving lots of love and attention! Camp Bow Wow® Long Island City features a state of the art facility that sets it apart from competing doggy boarding centers. The camp-themed décor creates the feel of a cozy mountain lodge, and the indoor/outdoor play areas are surrounded with premium wooden fencing.
Only at Camp Bow Wow are live Camper Cams® installed in every nook and cranny of the camp, so that owners can remotely watch their beloved pooches play all day. Certified Camp Counselors® are always present at camp, and Camp Bow Wow® offers the leading staff-to-dog ratio. The camp has a 10,000 sq. ft. facility complete with 6 spacious play yards. The play yards are equipped with doggy jungle gyms and pool splash parties during the hot summer days!
This doggy day care is just different. For one thing, there’s the all day play. Instead of spending most of the day in a cage, with minimal walks, dogs that visit Camp Bow Wow® enjoy most of their time (whether it’s for day camp or boarding) playing in one of six large indoor/outdoor play areas. “During the day campers can spend most of their time outdoors playing with their four-legged friends,” says owner Stephen Neagus. “At Camp Bow Wow® our day campers find themselves exhausted by the end of the day when their guardians come to pick them up. The guests who stay overnight are given a tasty campfire treat just before being tucked into their own private and spacious cabin.” The facility is completely climate-controlled to maintain maximum doggy comfort throughout the day and night, and all cabins come complete with a cozy fleece-lined cot.
Another unique quality of the camp is that Certified Camp Counselors® monitor the pooches all day and adhere to a strict camper-to-counselor ratio for dog safety purposes. All counselors are trained in dog behavior, safety, and health management, including CPR and First aid training. Camp Bow Wow® knows how dogs play and interact, so all sizes and types of pups are kept very yappy! As an additional safety measure, large and small doggies play in separate areas.
Stephen is ready to open the doggy doors for business and is very excited to be a part of the great NYC dog-loving community.
Stephen has owned and operated a successful dog walking/pet sitting business in the city the past 6 years. He wanted to expand his doggy horizons to include a place that all pups would be pulling their owners toward. Once Stephen left his corporate job on Wall Street, he could fully commit to what he enjoys the most, the pups! Thankfully he has achieved that with Camp Bow Wow®! In addition to upholding a strong commitment to the dogs, Stephen has made a commitment to improving his community. Stephen has volunteered with the Big Brother/Big Sister program for the past 8 years improving the lives of youth in the NYC community.
Camp Bow Wow® Long Island City will be hosting a VIP (Very Important Pooch) event on July 31st at 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM EST. This is the perfect opportunity for local businesses owners and invited guests to meet the staff, take a tour of the camp, and enjoy a little wine and cheese while networking and enjoying the new facility.
There are a few requirements to be a camper and it all starts with the free interview day. The interview is a meet-and-greet with dogs of similar size and temperament, and Stephen advises owners to leave their pooches for the full day. “Basically, it’s a free day of camp and we get to know our future guests on a first-name basis,” says Stephen. Before coming in for an interview, all campers must be spayed/neutered and up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordatella vaccines.

One Georgia Bank Receives Highest Lender Status for Small Business Loans
One Georgia Bank Receives Highest Lender Status for Small Business Loans
Atlanta, GA (Vocus) December 15, 2008
One Georgia Bank (http://www.onegeorgiabank.com), one of the best ranked banks for Atlanta small business owners, was named a Preferred Lender by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) on December 3.
Preferred Lender status is granted only to those lenders who have demonstrated a proficiency in processing and servicing SBA-guaranteed loans. The newly awarded designation — along with One Georgia Bank’s status as an SBA Express lender — will allow the Atlanta based community bank to process small-business loans faster and with greater simplicity.
The SBA (http://www.sba.gov) does not make loans directly to entrepreneurs, but rather provides a guarantee to a commercial bank that in the event of default by the borrower they will reimburse a percentage of the loan proceeds back to the bank. The SBA will guarantee 85 percent of loans $ 150,000 or less and 75 percent of loans over $ 150,000 up to $ 2,000,000 under the 7A program. These loans — typically used to renovate, provide working capital or complete an acquisition of a business — often offer a lower down payment, longer terms and amortizations, competitive fixed and variable rates and better cash flow than other lending vehicles.
As of November 30, 2008, One Georgia Bank ranked #7 of all 7(a) Georgia SBA lenders by volume. The businesses include a diverse mix including food franchises, retail and medical.
“Preferred Lender status is the highest lender status you can receive,” said Willard “Chuck” Lewis, president and chief executive officer of One Georgia Bank. “During these challenging economic times and beyond, SBA loans are an excellent tool to provide small businesses with the necessary capital for growth. Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy, creating jobs and helping our country and our state return to a more stable economic environment.”
One Georgia Bank has recruited a team of experienced and dedicated SBA professionals. The group is managed by Kevin Clingman, Vice President. He joined One Georgia Bank in December 2006 from Republic Bank, Michigan’s No. 1 SBA lender. Also key to the department’s success is Sherry Kinard, Assistant Vice President – Business Development Officer, who previously worked at Region’s Bank.
About One Georgia Bank
Located at 1180 Peachtree Street, One Georgia Bank’s objectives are to provide businesses and individuals with the highest standard of relationship banking in the market. The bank offers competitive state-of-the-art products and services designed to attract deposits and loans and provide an attractive rate of return to shareholders. The bank has recruited and is committed to a highly competent, motivated team dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. One Georgia Bank’s assets are currently estimated at more than $ 233 million. The bank is a proud member of the FDIC and through its CDARS program customers can expand deposit insurance on CD’s up to $ 50 million. For more information, visit http://www.onegeorgiabank.com.

GRA and TAG Kickoff Business Launch Competition 2007
Atlanta (PRWEB) January 15, 2007
The Georgia Research Alliance and the Technology Association of Georgia today announced the kickoff of the GRA/TAG Business Launch competition that awards $ 100,000 in cash plus professional services valued at an additional $ 150,000 to individuals starting a new technology company in Georgia.
The innovative competition, which is a unique public-private partnership with funding from a wide range of companies, will focus on new businesses seeking to develop financial services technologies or supply chain technologies. The competition, which is open to the public in Georgia, will culminate on May 24, 2007 at Georgia Public Broadcasting, when the final contestants present their business plans to a prestigious panel of judges who will select the winner.
“Without a doubt, last year’s competition was a roaring success,” said C. Michael Cassidy, president and CEO of GRA. “We had some remarkable entries from all across Georgia in this innovative event, which is the only one of its kind nationally. It couldn’t have been a better start.”
ReachMDConsult, an Augusta-based telemedicine company, won the 2006 event and has already garnered a number of major contracts, including one from the state of New York, to implement its stroke care technology in a number of hospitals.
“This was one of the most exciting events in Georgia’s technology community in recent years,” said Tino Mantella, TAG president. “We received tremendous support throughout the state and look forward to an even better 2007 competition.”
Entrants can obtain information on the contest on the TAG website, www.tagonline.org. The initial entries, due February 19, 2007 will be reviewed by TAG/GRA partner, ATDC, the Advanced Technology Development Center, which has been recognized as one of the nation’s premier technology business incubators.
“We were very pleased to partner with TAG and GRA last year to help launch the competition,” said Tony Antoniades, ATDC general manager. “Based on last year’s entries, technology innovation is truly alive and well in Georgia.”
Final entries are due by April 9. The prize winner must agree to launch the company and remain in Georgia. If the company moves out of state within three years after it is launched, the $ 100,000 award must be repaid with eight percent interest.
According to Sid Elliott, who is AT&T’s executive in residence at GRA and the lead organizer of the event, a group of semifinalists will be chosen in late April and invited to make presentations to a panel of semifinal judges. From that group, the “Final Four” will be chosen for the May 24th presentation at Georgia Public Broadcasting.
“Among the unique features of this event is the opportunity for some of the most promising preliminary entries to receive mentoring from an experienced technology entrepreneur,” said Elliott. “We had some great mentors last year who gave so much of their time to help the contestants and we will have an equally outstanding group this year.”
The judges for the final presentations for the 2007 event include: Pete Sinisgalli, chief executive officer, Manhattan Associates; Jay Chaudry, vice chairman and chief strategy officer, Secure Computing; Paul Garcia, chief executive officer, Global Payments Inc.; Mark Johnson, vice chairman, CheckFree Corporation; Scott McGlaun, chief information officer, Synovus; Tom Crotty, general partner, Battery Ventures (Boston); and Allen Moseley, general partner, Noro-Moseley Partners.
In addition to Elliott, Antoniades, Mantella and Cassidy, the competition has a stellar board of advisors from Georgia’s high tech community including Don Addington, CEO, Seagull Software; William Marks, managing partner, W. B. Marks Partners LLC; Sig Mosley, president, Imlay Investments; Martin Tilson, attorney and partner, Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP; Robert Ball, managing partner, Live Oak Equity; Melanie Brandt, director of community and information resources, TAG; Marc Fleury, founder & CEO, JBoss; Jeff Hoffman, managing partner, Smith-Hoffman Capital; Sami Jajeh, principal, Arketi Group; Guido Sacchi, CIO, CompuCredit; Steve Schilling, CTO, MegaPath Networks; Page Siplon, executive director Maritime Logistics Center.

10 Powerful Tips Using Business Cards
10 Powerful Tips Using Business Cards
Whether you’re looking for a job or running a business, giving business cards is crucial to marketing your skills or services. Even as a job seeker, develop the mindset of running the business of YOU, Inc. Business cards speak volumes about who you are, what you offer and how serious you are YOU MARKETING, INC. as a company . Oh! So you have a curriculum vitae and do not need business cards. Can you carry 10 resumes in your wallet ‘Do you or do you carry your resume everywhere you go’ a church bell lets people know they are open for business. Your business card is your bell. Here are some proven tips using business cards to increase your chances of getting a job or create a business opportunity.
1. Never leave home without them. Before departure, your checklist should be expanded to include business cards, as part of “Do I have my wallet / money, house keys, driver’s license” Any “per chance” meeting is an opportunity to give a business card. A morning jog or a quick trip to the local bank could be an opportunity to network. My wife and I always ask each other “Do you have business cards before leaving home. Make it a habit to carry {business card|business cards}s.
2. Insert a card when sending bill payments. Bills contain advertisements. Why not advertise your skills or services the same way ‘Insert a card with your payment. You may not think a person in South Dakota who opens your payment by credit card bill can help you. Never in -estimate the power of networks. A film entitled “6 degrees of separation points’ out we are 6 people away from knowing someone of influence. You could be 6 people away from that of the President the United States, your favorite movie star or someone who is able to hire your skills or services. Each of us knows someone who knows someone who knows someone etc. Development this powerful networking attitude will be a fundamental source of continued success.
3. Using Business Card Etiquette. Whenever you give a business card, request a business card. When given a business card, not enough to take it and place it in your pocket. Make the person feel important by looking at their card for a few seconds. You might see something that could be a topic of discussion. Write comments on the card, such as date, location and points of common interest. These observations will be useful when following this person. It also demonstrates a sincere interest in another person. Then place in your portfolio. This allows them to know they live in a special place with you. “Skill with People” by Les Giblin is a book that expands on this approach. Make people feel important, to make you important to them.
4. Be generous. Give business cards to everyone, including family and friends. Do not let pride stop you from giving your business card or giving the last 2 times for every person. I met many people who have totally missed the purpose of a business card. I once asked a person for a card the other hand, so I can see its services. His response was “I have a few cards left and I need them”, as he looked again at his name on the card. Hoarding your cards only makes your wallet feel full, not your bank account.
5. Ask for references. When giving a business card, people feel more comfortable when you ask, ‘I would appreciate a referral if you know someone who could use my services. ” Do not make people feel they are on site. This approach disarms people much better than asking them, ‘is your hiring entreprise”peuple naturally want to do favors for people. Say “Could you do me a favor by referring my services to someone.” It always puts you in a better situation with them. They feel better assist you. Give them 2 cards.
6. Maximize every “per chance” meeting. You never know when you might meet someone who can help. The family events or social friends could produce unexpected encounters with people. Do not ignore these events. Then you go to a birthday party for your child’s friend. You never know who you might meet. During a family holiday gathering last year, I met someone who was instrumental in the development of our activities this year. Who would have thought that this could happen by giving a simple card.
7. Move to the right place at the right time. Have you been to a job fair or business conference and been disappointed by the results turn network “around the table. Consider volunteering to help at the job fair or other types of ‘events. This puts you in a better strategic position for presenting your resume or business card. Company representatives could view you differently if they know you’re ready to go the extra mile to help make their presence easier to manage. Get involved by visiting Eventme.com, TheLunchClub.net, Craigslist.com or view the events calendar for JacobJavitsCenter.com put you in the ways of giving your card. The volunteer events has been a very effective resource for my partner and I to expand our business. Zig Ziglar, one of the trainers of the most successful sale of the world says “if you help enough people get what they want in life, you get what you want in life. “
8. Use “In Your Face” followed. Have you ever had a job interview or meeting with a recruiter, potential client or employer and wonder why they never reminded you “Out of sight, out of the heart is the key phrase to remember. The current economic climate requires that you might be competing with 20, 50, 100 or more other persons for the same position or contract. It is a task for people to keep track of each reunion. So it you give someone a reason to remember. Immediately after a session of snail mail a handwritten note thanking the person for their time. Insert your card. Now you’re in the driver’s seat setting itself apart from other people. If you do not answer, do it again. Patience and perseverance pays off.
9. Promotions use to encourage, Inc. Newspapers often have stories of people who are promoted to higher levels in the different organizations’ This is an opportunity for you. Consider getting greeting cards some invitation size blank. Use the search capabilities of the Internet to find addresses of executives of the company. Send the blank invitation type card with a handwritten note sincerely congratulate someone for their promotion. Insert your card. For the cost of a stamp of 37 percent, you just made someone’s day and may create an impression that makes a person feel compelled to respond back to you. Make it a habit to do once a week. Remember the “6 degrees of separation”. You never know. . . Those kind of open invitation envelope faster than others.
10. Brand yourself with a slogan. Print a slogan on your business card that answers the question “Why should I hire you” or “what makes you different from other” A phrase or a catchy slogan assures people still associate the name of a company their products or services. People remember even after the commercial is over. This is called branding. Companies pay big money for advertising agencies to come up with these lasting slogans. Consider doing the exact same thing on your card. This is your insurance people remember you after your meeting. Do not just Hortenfia Smiley, Accountant on your card. Add something like “services with financial integrity. “A slogan makes all the difference between getting hired or not, because people will remember you long after a meeting.
