Networking--Finding People for Jobs and Jobs for People

I received two contacts today from headhunters (recruiters).  One was an e-mail with a position the recruiter thought might be right for me.  The second was a telephone call asking my help in finding someone bilingual in English and French who might be interested in telemarketing for a Canadian technology company.

I network with companies who provide services I endorse (see http://www.joelmonty.net/information_links/information_links.htm).  I decided to add a job board to my joelmonty.wikispaces.com website.

I also went to LinkedIn and joined two groups who may have contacts which could help someone find that job.  For one of the groups I actually posted a link to my job board page.

Why help someone who is looking to find someone a job?  These days, so many people need jobs it only makes sense to help people who are looking to fill jobs.  In fact, people who have a job still may need contacts for a supplementary (or next) job.

I'm still looking for clients and, in the mean time, I'm happy to help others be more successful in their own jobs and in finding jobs for others.

Networking, Connections, Social Networks, New Opportunities, Ideas and Inspiration

This week I have been exploring some new ideas to make a positive difference and to generate more income.  (Visit my earlier blogs for this week.)  Today I went back to LinkedIn to join more networking and alumni groups so that I can connect with former colleagues and others who share similar interests and values.

I needed to connect with people I can trust (often alumni network members) who live in other parts of the world and who can help me find some connections for global businesses.  What I like about these social networking groups made available via LinkedIn is that we can share ideas, discuss, and inspire each other.  Often someone will ask a question that someone else will have an answer for--or a resource or an idea about.

This one service provides me an opportunity to expand my thinking and to connect with lots more people who can help me make some dreams come true--for lots of people.  If you're interested, visit my LinkedIn profile.
