MySpace, one of the most popular social networking sites, is no longer the exclusive domain of teenagers. The average age for people on this site is now about 35 years. There are millions of MySpace users and many of them are professionals (potential passive candidates).

The search syntax for finding profiles on MySpace is

site:www.myspace.com keyword

If you are looking for passive prospects from a geographic area, you can include the state code at the end of the search string. For, example, if you are looking for profiles of Certified Public Accountants from California, the search string will be

site:www.myspace.com Certified Public Accountant (California | CA)

Use the above search technique and explore the vast possibilities that MySpace can offer, especially to locate those hard-to-find candidates for your assignments.

Recruiters often assume that the candidates usually know what to expect in their job, but that is seldom the case. Job expectations are important, and it is equally important to communicate them properly. Make it a point to give a clear, unambiguous statement of job expectations. State clearly, in the very beginning, as to what the job does and does not involve. Ambiguous job expectations always result in strained relationships.

Setting clear job expectations are particularly critical when roles or expectations are fuzzy. By following these guidelines, you'll avoid a multitude of problems that typically arise with your recruits.
