7 Tips for a Job Using Social Media
Dan Schawbel wrote this web article http://mashable.com/2009/01/05/job-search-secrets/ and states that a new type of job search is required of job seekers – It boils down to the fact that there are fewer jobs available, more competition for those jobs and more touch points for recruiters and seekers to interact.
Article contents:
- Conduct a people search instead of a job search
- Use attraction-based marketing to get job offersBe proactive on Twitter
- Capitalize on LinkedIn
- Advertise your brand using AdWords and Facebook Social Ads
- Construct a video resume and upload it to YouTube
- Subscribe to blogs that have job listings
Dan concludes that a new approach to the job search is now needed – to integrate the traditional and social media approach; the most successful job searches come from those who have already built up strong networks, both online and off. You need to integrate this new-age approach with the traditional approach.
