Thanks for commenting, Steve.

You bring up a good point. Job seekers may indeed land a job using the least effective methods . . . eventually. And they may truly believe they know better than people like you and me, who urge job seekers to embrace the new methods, including building an online presence.

But at what cost? Every week that they’re unemployed costs them money. Or, if they’re still employed while looking for a new gig, a protracted job search keeps them from landing perhaps somewhere better, for longer than need be.

The use of the word “offal” is quoted
from one of my wife’s company founders. While not as vehement, several otherwise “with it” individuals, I am persuaded, will not bend before
I take my final breath. Interestingly these candidates, sure it takes longer, pursue their goals the “old fashioned” way and end up on their feet, victorious in their thinking. Maybe I should be happy for them, because I moved on unscathed by their resistance. Your advocate! sQs

Thanks for commenting, Pat, and for your keen insight.

Like it or not, job seekers who want to gain a competitive edge (and who doesn’t?) need to have a solid online presence, backing up their brand and value to their target employers.

This all circles around demonstrable behavior and social networks used correctly can validate such behavior.
