Beyond Facebook And LinkedIn: 10 Ning Networks To Help You Land A Job

If you’ve been adding friends on Facebook and answering questions on LinkedIn for a while with no appreciable effect, you might start to wonder: Is this all there is?

Mashable.com put together this list of 10 Ning Networks to Help You Land Your Next Job. (Ning is a service that allows anyone to create a social network organized around any theme.) We especially liked Recruiter Earth, which has over 9,000 members and is a great add whether you’re a job seeker or looking to fill a position, and New Media Hire, which caters to anyone interested in working with social networks, Twitter, blogging, and podcasting.

Check out the whole list and see if there’s a network for you. Of course, none of these have the user base of Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other “biggies,” but a narrow, targeted collection of like-minded users could be even more beneficial to your job hunt.

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
