7 Tips for Social Networking Online: An Entry-Level Guide

Allan Hoffman | Monster Tech Jobs Expert

Choose Your Flavor

Don’t jump at every offer to join a social networking service. Some focus on dating, while others are devoted to professional interests. Many mix business and pleasure: One moment you may marvel at a newfound friend’s taste in tunes; the next you realize she works at the company of your dreams.

But you probably don’t want to devote your time making contacts with 20-something music fans when you’re a 50-something sales exec with no interest in post-ABBA bands.

2. Understand Site Culture and Rules

    In 2010 I graduated with honors in Information Technology from American InterContinental University. I am 65 years of age with experience in Shipping and Receiving but I can't do that sort of physical work anymore and I want to "re-invent" myself but no one will give me a job because I have no experience. I can't even get an internship. What happens now, if anything!?

    Kind of basic courtesy for anyone used to online communities, but still useful for those who might not be up to speed on networking yet.

    I graduated from Upper Iowa University with Honors in Accounting. I am a returning student but have no actual experience in accounting so how do you get experience when all firms want experience?

    I graduated from St Charles Community College with a Paralegal Certificate. I was in accounting for 30 years and have all the experiences except actual work in a law office. I was 1st ranking in my class and an a quick learner. Still, it has been 13 months and no job. Have had a couple of interviews, was told I interview well, resume is excellent, but these firms wanted experience. No interships in MO. Labor laws say all people doing work for firms must be paid. What do I do now?
