Social Media for Job Seekers
Sep 17th
It is no surprise that there is a high demand for hiring individuals with social media skills. The growth of social media isn’t only for job seekers. A recent survey by Jobvite reported that 92% of recruiters use social media to find talent. This survey further goes on to say that 2/3 of companies now recruit through Facebook and more than half (54%) use Twitter to find new talent, while LinkedIn is remains the top social media site, used by 93%.
So when you ask yourself: “Does it really help my job hunt to join LinkedIn, create a personal website or set up a blog?” The answer is absolutely YES!
First things first, you should search your own name to see what pops up. It is important to note that recruiters may not only look at social media sites, but also any external links with information about you. When you engage in social media, the information provided should support your image and reinforce the information in your resume.
When it comes to social networking and job search, creativity thrives. If you’re seeking a job in social media, public relations, marketing or a related, check out these resumes for inspiration on how to create a modern resume and stand out from the crowd. The living resume is also something to consider. A great example of this is using Pinterest as a resume. For more information, click here.

How Social Are You?
Aug 30th
You social butterfly you! You tweet, you update your Facebook status religiously, you’re active on Google +, you DIGG and PIN and don’t feel at all overwhelmed by all the cyber social craze.
When applying for a job you might think that listing links to social media profiles and handles will increase your chances at obtaining an interview or job.
We would advise thinking twice about listing your “social” information on your resume. As we’ve stated in the past – recruiters and hiring managers will research to find you on all social media platforms to dig a little deeper.
Aside from keeping your social media profiles “tasteful” and professional you should also consider only listing your social information if it pertains to the position and/or industry you’re applying to.
