Networks, Job Search and Labour Markets: Information Sharing as a Structured Process - Social Networking Conference @ U of T

"Networks, Job Search and Labour Markets: Information Sharing as a Structured Process"
Alexandra Marin, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, UofT

In this talk, Alexandra talks about how to use information sharing for job search. She is applying social capital to the process of job search and how social networks of contacts can be used for finding jobs. I asked the question about studying job search using social network sites like LinkedIn and getting a job through the LinkedIn network. Alexandra mentioned how people do not really use LinkedIn and use their physical contacts rather than from a web site.
