My obvious
problem is now to find a job suitable to my experience and qualification. Since
most of them get their jobs through referral, I want to connect with my
previous company colleagues and find a suitable job. Since
I worked in India and I am seeking job here in US my challenge will to find a
job here in US through my previous company colleagues in India. SNA will help
to contact the right person. I will ask my colleagues’ friends to help me with their
friends’ contacts. I will connect with them to ask job specific details. I will ask
them questions like
Are there jobs suitable to
my skillset?
Are there any jobs which
specifically require project management specialization?
If yes how many years of
experience do they need?
What are there other conditions
which need to be met?
If all the conditions
match is he ready to refer me and connect me to HR for interview?
I hope anyone
of them will respond positively about the job. If not I will
ask them to contact their friends to look for the kind of job I am interested in. The
data I need the most is list of my colleagues’ friend who work here in US and
their friends’ friends who are also in US. Through my colleagues network I can
get interview for the job specific to my skillset and qualification. I will use
Node Centrality measures like Out-degree and In-degree of my colleagues to contact their
friends in US. Measures like Betweenness will tell me how many people I traversed
to find the right person. Also the key person who recruits is HR I can use Eigenvector
to connect to them.

It's important to understand that what you have here is not really an SNA; it's a survey. There's no network question, nothing that links the respondents. You can't use SNA mesures if there's no network to use them on.
