Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mark Granovetter's research found that people typically get jobs through their social networks and connections, rather than solely relying on their skill levels or analyzing the job market. This phenomenon is known as "the strength of weak ties" or the idea that acquaintances or weak ties in one's social network can provide valuable information and job opportunities that may not be available through close friends or family members. Therefore, choice C, using social networks to make connections, is the best answer.
