Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 12.

The days of looking at "Help wanted" ads in newspapers, and then sending in a resume, are disappearing fast. We are morphing from a "browse and show me" society to one of "refer and lead me." Today, both job seekers and job recruiters use social recruiting to search, share, discuss, engage, build rapport, and refer. More people are relying on social media to get that extra advantage. Have you ever had a Facebook friend post an update to his network promoting a new job opportunity at his company? Have you ever received a Linkedln message from a friend of a friend asking you about employment opportunities? That's social networking.

The key thing about social media is that it lets you create connections with people. These connections can be a huge help in getting a job because you can get a personal referral.You are far more likely to be considered for a job with a personal referral than you would be just completing an online application.

It's essential to join professional networks. By joining these communities, you will be up to date on what's happening in the industry. You also create long-term relationships that build trust. Recruiters often start their search in these communities to find suitable job candidates. Some social media sites allow you to request an introduction from your extended network. This can give you a head start on the competition. You can see who is already connected to the person you are targeting. There are also mobile phone apps that help job seekers find and manage these connections. By all means use social media in your job search. However, a word of warning: even though you are using social media, always remain professional with the people you interact with. Don't blur the line between personal and professional.

You probably can't rely on social media alone to get a great job. Your immediate aim is to get an interview. If you get one, follow the same advice for anyone granted an interview: Dress professionally, and arrive early. Be prepared with knowledge of the company position you're applying for. Know that you will have to think on your feet and answer tough questions. Have your own questions ready to show you did your homework. Be yourself; if you do get a job offer, then you know that it's a good fit.
