Over the years finding a job has been getting easier and
easier. From looking for advertisements
in the paper to using websites that were designed to find jobs. Now you may
simple log on to your favorite social media site. This list gives useful tips
that can help someone seeking for a job find one with ease. The sites that were
mentioned are Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest. When using
Twitter, you can simply search the word “jobs” and find pages that post jobs,
and then follow the page. Next time you are on your Facebook, edit your profile
and add your education, skills and job history.
When on LinkedIn, start connecting to everything you are interested in
and make sure to update your education, skills and job history. Even though
Tumblr is predominantly a blogging site, you can search terms like “hiring “
and “jobs”, then start tumbling. Finally when using Pinterest, post your resume
and follow hiring pages. All of these tips can be used to find you a job with
little effort. But there is one problem that crosses my mind. If you were to
connect with you employer through your social network page, then what is stopping
them from invading your privacy and looking at all of your information?Gambling with your information is up to you, when making the choice just think
of your privacy. http://on.mash.to/PR9pJS
Employers often times do a little digging into potential employees' social media accounts anyway. However, I'm not sure how professionally it would be perceived to contact an employer via social media. It seems to me that keeping professional and personal worlds separate should be an important point to stress to those looking for jobs. It's amazing how technology has blurred the lines between these two spheres.
ReplyDeleteI've never considered using social networking sites to find jobs. mostly i think of them as something an employer may look at to find out more about me, and use them to make connections.
