Who knew that a simple question, “What do you need?” could help you make critical connections in landing your next job. A new startup, Favorang™ poses just that question to users who are Job Seekers across the largest metropolitan areas in America. Why not be really explicit about what you want, and really explicit about favor exchanges?

“The manner in which we search for jobs and make career shifts has completely changed. Job boards such as Career Builder, Hot Jobs, and The Ladders have created rich content forums for employers and employees to come together. Social media sites such as Facebook have reunited individuals that may never have been in contact throughout their lifetimes- this is powerful. LinkedIn is a tool for professionals to gather all their contacts in one place and to tap them for recommendations and references. Favorang is the next evolution- taking elements of the social aspects from Facebook, and the professional networking capabilities of LinkedIn. The end result is a truly powerful social networking site that can transform your job search.”

There is something key about articulating what you want; it empowers individuals to dream, to tap into that creative part, and really search for “what do you need?” Users are encouraged to really think about this before putting in their tag line, and once it is submitted, it is viewable by all group members. This is like a high speed cocktail party where you are networking for job leads. While not every favor may be returned, one can’t help but wonder……”what if I articulated this and put it out to the world……I wonder if I’d get the help I need?” With no fees for registration, there is little lost in putting out to the world exactly what you need. Do us a favor and join Favorang today!
