How does it work?
Simply login with Facebook on http://cachinko.com, or access the application on Facebook http://apps.facebook.com/cachinko. Then enter the title of the position you want and where you want to work. We search millions of jobs from the Internet and job aggregators to return the most interesting and relevant jobs matched to your skills and preferences. The more you View, Like, or Comment on a specific type of job the more relevance we will assign to these jobs that interest you. When you click on “More Like This” you save the job into your starred jobs folder to follow, and “Less Like This” tells us the types of jobs that you do not want to see in your job search. The more you interact on the site the more specific your job search becomes.
Connect with your friends on Facebook. Some of your friends have valuable industry and professional experience. They may work at companies that interest you, or they may know somebody who does. Talk with them about your goals and ask them for introductions to hiring managers inside the companies you like.
All of your saved jobs, conversations with friends and about jobs are organized neatly into a familiar activity stream under your Starred Jobs, Friends, and Conversations tabs so you can quickly refer back to information that can aid in your job search or application process.
Update your profile so that your new friends’ first look at your professional online resume is current and relevant. The day is coming soon when resumes will be obsolete, so make your professional profile stand out by making it current and complete.
An online resume that is backed up with references from people in your industry and profession is a powerfully persuasive combination. Ask your connections for a recommendation that tells reviewers of your profile your character strengths and skills. Return the favor by endorsing friends about whose work you think highly.
Always be networking! Whether you are one of the lucky ones to have already found your ideal job, or you are still looking, networking is the most critical activity for career development. Knowing others with skills, experience, and resources that can help you to achieve a stretch goal can enhance your position with your current employer. Being resourceful by knowing where to go and how to use resources available to you is a valuable leadership trait. If you are seeking a new job, then you should know that over 65% of all hires are made based on referrals. So, build your network and get connected today.
