When you want to find a job, you should

think about how people now use technology.

Gone are the days of opening a newspaper

and circling ads.

Now people use third-

party job placement

websites.

With these you can

search for your ideal

job and send resumes

quickly.

Of course there is more to it than that.

When looking for work you must also use

social media.

During your search for employment,

remember that companies routinely post

their job openings.

This is a great way to take a proactive

approach to the situation since you can

apply for jobs that others may not see.

A lot of people do not

consider Facebook

when looking for jobs.

And don’t forget about

LinkedIn and Twitter.

Luckily, when you can take

a few minutes to ‘like’ and

‘follow’ companies you

may want to work at, you

can end up with the inside

scoop.

Whether you block random people from

seeing your profile or not, you should still

clean it up and remove anything that

potential employers will not like.

If you have pictures

of yourself drinking

or participating in

activities you do

NOT want potential

bosses to see, you

must clean up your

profile.

Additionally, a smart job seeker should keep

his or her profile neutral when it comes to

politics and other subjects.

During a job search you should

keep your Facebook, Twitter and

other profile clean and without

anything that will offend people.

Plenty of people overuse social media to

talk to friends.

On the other hand, if you are looking for

work or want to explore your options, you

should add relevant people to your social

media accounts.

When you meet people in your day-to-day

life, you will often run into those who could

help you find a new job.

To avoid missing out on an opportunity,

add people you meet to your LinkedIn and

other accounts

communicate with people easily.

Without a doubt, with Facebook and

other social media sites, you can do a

lot of research.

This is extremely beneficial.

Page 21: 4 Tips on Using Social Media to Boost Your Job Search

With Facebook, you can check out the

company’s posts.

Not only that, if employees leave their

accounts open, you can take a peek

into their lives.

It’s a great advantage, when walking

into an interview, having the inside

scoop on the hiring manager and

other interviewers.
