On the Bench (I.T.)

Welcome to On the Bench (I.T.), a free social IT networking community. As we all know,  most often our success is a result of our relationships.  There’s nothing like an introduction from a mutual friend or recommendation from a co-worker that makes us stand out in the crowd.  In fact,   Forbes magazine reported  that "informal contacts" account for almost 75 percent of all successful job searches. Agencies find nine percent of new jobs for professional and technical people, and advertisements yield another 10 percent or so.  So get started and make connections!  Share your leads, post your openings,  resumes and hotlists for all to see.  Keep your information updated, and welcome new people as they join.  And remember, it’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know.
