Networking

 Networking

Networking is the exchange of information and ideas among people with a common profession or special interest, usually in an informal social setting. Networking often begins with a single point of common ground.

the biggest misconception is that networking is about you. It’s the opposite. It’s about the other person. This is especially important when you start a new job. That’s when your networking should kick up a notch. For one thing, news of your job change will probably spread through your network, especially when you update your LinkedIn profile with your new job title and links to your new employer. You will probably receive some congratulatory emails—and some requests from people in your network for career advice based on how you landed your new job. They may be where you were at the start of this process: They want to change jobs but don’t have a clue about how and where to start. Pay it forward!

What applications are available for networking-

1. Facebook- 

For all its faults (and there are a lot of them), Facebook is still comfortably the most popular social network in the world.

With more than 2.7 billion users, it's the place to go if you want to easily connect with most of the people from your current or former life.

2. Instagram-

If you're more interested in looking at images and short video clips, the Instagram app might be the best social network for you; 37% of American adults have an account.

3. Twitter

Twitter is another network that's received a considerable amount of negative coverage. The 280-character limit (formerly 140 characters) doesn't exactly promote reasoned debate, and the presence of millions of fake bots only serves to erode the experience further.

4. LinkedIn

LinkedIn provides social networking for professionals. As the site has grown, it's become one of the best ways to build your CV, find a new job, and network within your professional circles.

5. Snapchat

Snapchat is almost exclusively a young person's hangout; you're unlikely to find your grandma with an account. The site revolves around sharing self-destructing images and videos, though there's also a messaging tool and lots of gamification features.

6. Tumblr

Tumblr is what happens when the worlds of social networking and blogging collide. You can post text, photos, videos, and other media content onto your blog page, which other users can then follow.

7. Sina Weibo

Sina Weibo is China's answer to Twitter. With more than 500 million users, it is one of the most popular social networks in the world.

8. InterNations

If you're an expat, you should have an account on InterNations. The site lets you find other people in your city who match your language, interests, or line of work.
