One sentence of the Chapter’s topic that I want to focus on
is “College students tend to use weak-tie connections because they provide more
variety and more opportunities to get their careers started.” The primary
question I will ask each “on the street interviewee is “Why do you think so
many people use LinkedIn to find jobs when studies show that LinkedIn does not
produce significantly better results than stronger connections?” The reason why
I want to ask college students this question is because I find it very
interesting that people use LinkedIn even though there is not much evidence
that it is very effective. As the study in my iBook demonstrated, most job
openings are offered because of strong family and friend connections. Does the
increased use of LinkedIn have to do with our laziness, quick accessibility to
the Internet, or both?
