I received an email today to sign up with this website - www.doostang.com. It says that its an "online career community." It makes sense, especially if their statistic that 70% of all jobs are filled via referrals is accurate.

I haven't joined yet, the invite I received isn't working, but most likely will out of curiosity - even though the name is a turn off for me - doesn't really sound like a career oriented site!

Is anyone else on it? Does it have career-matching potential, or is it another waste of time website?

It really is a great network. They get a lot of good positions (as compared to Monster.com and the like). There are a number of glitches on the site and the quickly expiring invitations are one such issue. Have the person resend the invitation. Usually the second one works fine.

i want an invite!
