It has been a real transformation in the way recruiter today look out for candidates. You no longer apply for one job, get calls and attend interview to get a job. Recruiter are looking for internet savvy people. People who can and know how to use the modern day resources for their daily needs.

Recent success such as LinkedIn and Doostang are marching their way ahead of the traditional apply and get interview methods. Network with people and ask them to recommend you for jobs online. You don't need to have a coffee or date people to network them. It is as simple as sending a request along with your profile and keeping in touch to get a job. Even the online job boards are feeling the pressure of the huge hit method of getting a job. Today most of the jobs go un-posted even in the company's career site. It would be an estimated 40% or even more that go un-posted and are filled through recommendations. This means the one who knows the right person has a 95% chance of getting job than the qualified individual who takes the regular process of application through the career site of the company as one of the 1000 applicants for those positions.
