Linking our Students to Jobs and Business Contacts

By Betty Bollas, Career Services Director - Cincinnati

According to the United States Department of Labor, 'only about 5 percent of people obtain jobs through the "open" job market - consisting primarily of help-wanted ads on the Internet and in print publications. Another 24 percent obtain jobs through contacting companies directly - the cold-calling method of job-hunting. 23 percent obtain jobs through such means as employment agencies, college career-service offices and executive-search firms. The remaining 48 percent -- nearly half of all job hunters, obtain their jobs through referrals - that is word of mouth.' (quintcareers.com) 85 percent of job openings are never advertised and networking is the tool you can use to get that inside information.

One of the newest ways to network is online. There are some new websites that can help you sharpen your networking skills; Linked-In being one.

LinkedIn.com is a networking tool to help find connections, to recommended job candidates, industry experts, and business partners. It allows registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. You can find me on Linked-In, http://www.linkedin.com/in/bettybollas, with over 200 contacts. I personally use this website to grow and develop my professional network, research employee backgrounds, companies, and job opportunities and I encourage you to do the same.

It has been a valuable resource to the Career Services Department at Antonelli College. We have used it to secure speakers, ask questions, and post announcements to employers.

I would encourage you to tinker with them and get accustomed to online networking because it is not going away anytime soon.

Please feel free to see me if you want more information regarding online networking and LinkedIn.
