Steps
- Friend someone you don’t know?
- Poke someone?
- Manually search database
- Pay $10 for “InMail”- Write Awkward
- Create profile then search. Same functionality as LinkedIn
Problems
- FB for social not professional networking
- Only interact with people you already know
- Mostly used for public profile or online rolodex
- Cold emails often ignored
- Job Search sites are inherently NOT social.
- Reactive vs. proactively making introductions
