It’s sounds pretty simple and can be quite effective, if you can follow the basics.
Rule #1 Invite your friends, co-workers, family members, and anyone else with whom you have a strong personal/professional relationship
Rule #2 You gotta post and share jobs regularly.
Rule #3 Use your Online network, but also you need to tap into and nurture your offline network too
Rule #4 Communicate (online, email, phone, RSS, Search Agents, etc.)
In this post let’s focus on Rule #1 – Invite your Friends (yes all of them!)
Inviting your contacts is soooo important, don’t underestimate the importance it can have on your job search. Your friends, co-workers (yes they are looking for greener grass too), family members, college alumni, etc. are all on the job market and they all have their ear to the ground, but I bet 90% of them don’t do a great job of networking offline simply because often there is not the opportunity to network offline (like meeting up with your friends at a coffee shop, or meeting with your extended family at a dinner party). This is why in today’s world you have to use tools like Cachinko to find your next job, just like you may use MySpace, Facebook, Twitter to communicate with your friends to hook-up for the evening, meet for a movie, or post those crazy photos. Cachinko is a way for you to take control of your career (not just the next job hook-up). Here you can share jobs with your friends, update your profile, get Cachinko to create a slick professional resume at no cost to you, share your resume with your friends and network.
