How-your-Facebook-Friends-are-More-Likely-to-Get-You-a-Job

People use Facebook for several purposes, some for getting updated about the insights, to stay in connection with the friends or to just show-off. There might be several friends in your friend list whom you haven’t even poked in the recent so many years, then what is the point behind adding them in your friend list? Well, whatever might be the plan, but at some moment he/she was added with an attempt to build up a relation.

It is quite true that social media provides a great medium to brace or develop good bonds, but is it still about the relationships? The answer to this is NO, as you can even find a job with the help of your Facebook friends.

Real Life Friends v/s Facebook Friends

According to a Report: 

A report was made on the analysis of Facebook friends. This report tells that all your Facebook friends who aren’t roaming with you in real life, or they are not inviting you to any party, they might aid you in getting a good job. it was also stated that these kind of friends are merely weak connections until and unless you don’t talk to them.

You might have liked their latest picture or even wished them on their birthday or they might have commented on a social post posted by you, but you haven’t talked to them directly. According to the report, weak connections are also valuable because the power is linked to redundant information. And with this, the friends are more likely to share information with you.

Real Life Friends v/s Facebook Friends: 

It is also true that a real life friend with lots of links can help you and he/she can provide you with some key knowledge about the field you wish to work in. Obviously, real-life friends share a much stronger bond than the weak connections. But the problem with real life friends is that they have common characteristics and might not be able to provide you anything exclusive regarding your desired profession.

Structure of Facebook: 

Facebook’s structure is as such that people who aren’t even sharing strong bonds tend to share chief information. You don’t feel awkward while talking to your Facebook friends, which isn’t the case with real-life friends. It is a less complex and easy to understand platform in comparison to its competitors such as LinkedIn. You easily get to know the recent working status of your Facebook friends as they love to add it to their bio.

Break the Silence:

Even if you are just starting to search for a job or you are in the middle of finding one, don’t straight away ask for a job. You need to break your silence first, indulge in some casual talks regarding their posts or old times, and after that ask about their job status. Slowly, proceed towards asking for a help to find the desired job.

If you are really serious about finding a good job, do consider talking to your Facebook friends.
