Do you use Facebook or MySpace? Did you know that in addition to socializing with your friends, Facebook is beginning to offer networking for job/career purposes? There are several other websites that allow for networking. One website, doostang.com, was created by Harvard and MIT alum. The networking site reaches out to 20-35 year olds to help recent graduates and large companies connect. Other websites include: linkedin.com, and xing.com. Check out the article to learn more.
