The short answer....YES!
Connections are incredibly important to growing and maintaining your personal and professional network.
According to CNBC, 80% of jobs are filled through personal and professional connections. With 35% of those surveyed revealing that a casual conversation has led to a new opportunity.
That means just by speaking to someone you could discover something wonderful. Plus, you never know where a conversation may lead (even with your hair dresser)!
Learn more about how building connections can help you land you a job and how to effectively reach out to your current connections for help.
This job search expert explains that your #connections are critical to getting job, and recommends "dominating" your social media profile.

I've been at Jobcase Community Specialist for a little over 2 years now. I landed this job via a new acquaintance I met through a friend of a friend and within 2 weeks found a career opportunity I've been able to maintain for all this time.
Turns out, this company was right in my neighborhood and I had absolutely no idea. Sometimes, solutions are allot closer than you think but only present themselves when you make yourself more available to receive them.

No. I have not been "EMPLOYED" since 1995. I do believe I could be considered "UNEMPLOYABLE." I do have specific skill sets, i.e., Marine Industries. And I would consider training in most related industries, but, I have certain "DISABILITIES," age notwithstanding. Thank you for your time, Donald Hoppe.

If you've recently taken the time to revise your #resume and online Jobcase profile to have them looking spruced up and stunning - great work!
However, if you are finding that they don't portray you as a direct match for a particular role you are eyeing, don't be hesitant about modifying wording, swapping around keywords, and changing up your bullet points! Having multiple versions of your resume is a great thing to do.
Remember, it's not a tattoo - there is no such thing as a "permanent" resume or online profile. Think of them as living, breathing documents throughout the entirety of your job search and career life!

Keith What is s skilled based resume never heard of that. Seems like a lot of extra work and do the employers even look at a two page resume? You would be surprised how well networking really works when you are looking for a job. Sometimes it is not how much you know or how much experience you have it is someone you know that might put in a good word to the company on your behalf.
