Yahoo’s new social job network: Kickstart from News.com has an excellent review of Yahoo’s new social networking job site named Kickstart.

The site is currently is currently a concept, which Yahoo wants to turn into a reality. The concept is to use social features to connect college alumni working at companies to those students who are graduating or have recently graduated. The social element helps tie together people who are currently employed at companies that may be able to help a fellow alumni or friend get a job at their company.

Yahoo Kickstart’s slogan is:

Wish you had an ‘in’ to find the job of your dreams?

Kickstart tries to help you find that ‘in’ into that job of your dreams.
