[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a hiring manager. We occasionally hire people through the web site, but it's rare. [b]We prefer to hire someone who comes recommended through people we know, and we often get resumes sent to us that way.[/b] That's where we usually start and have success. But for junior level positions especially we sometimes don't have referrals and so will bring in a handful of people who applied online without any connection. I've been a hiring manager for 2.5 years and have never even seen a cover letter. [/quote] Do you "know" a lot of people of color?[/quote] I agree, the networking habit is a form of nepotism and continues to rob non-connected people of deserved opportunities. And I don't buy the argument that knowing how to network is part of doing a job.... a lot of people start their network via connected parents, fancy schools, etc. and those who don't have that advantage can almost never catch up.[/quote]
