Makale Özeti:

Nowadays, there is a growth of creating new accounts in social network sites (SNSs) specially by young people among whom are university students. SNSs (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Myspace and so many others) are useful communication tools in which people exchange ideas in their areas of interest. This incredible growth of using these applications makes it significant to investigate specific personal or professional purposes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of awareness among university students for finding jobs through using SNSs. The targeted group was undergraduate and graduate Türkiye Scholarship holders at Ege University, Izmir- Turkey for the spring semester 2014-2015. Two variables were explored: their current ways and awareness of using SNSs for finding jobs. The method applied in this study was quantitative in nature; a web questionnaire was shared through Facebook and randomly 61 participants responded to it who are about 14% of the total number. The data was analyzed by using the SPSS program 19. However, many users have already joined groups and pages in SNSs concerning jobs. The results indicate that there is a lack of awareness among them towards finding jobs and only 14.8% of them who have already been hired as a result of using SNSs. Further; they use SNSs for personal matters rather than professional ones.
