Career networking (also known as job seeking through networking) uses an individual’s networks (family contacts, professional colleagues, friends and other personal contacts) in career development.  Career development can include job searching such as learning about career fields, job opportunities, and companies an individual may be interested in working in; and ways to achieve career goals. Technology is increasingly important to career networking; for example, social networks like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Linkedin, and online job-matching platforms like ZipRecruiter, Monster, and Career Builder.
