Can Facebook Get You a Job? [INFOGRAPHIC]

In answer to the question above, approximately 18,400,000 Americans say yes, they got their current job through Facebook. Though Zuck's platform ranks #1, Twitter and LinkedIn don't have shabby numbers either -- 8 million and 10.2 million Americans, respectively, have gotten their jobs through social platforms.

Judging from our Job Search Series, it should come as no surprise that being socially savvy pays off in the job hunt for two reasons -- it helps you network, and it's a highly marketable strength in your skill set, given all the openings in the digital space. So, it's about time you spruce up those social profiles and start networking.

The infographic below combines data from Jobvite, CNN, LinkedIn and JobSearch to assemble a statistical picture of the modern-day job seeker. Check it out for interesting insights and some tricks of the trade to help you land a job.
