Social Media for Your Job Search
I got an inquiry from a reader the other day after posting the article about Twitter to find a job article.
His question:
Using LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc. does not seem to help find me leads. I have profiles posted, but no one contacts me whatsoever. What’s up with that?”
LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook aren’t the magic solution to your job search. The leads will not come pouring in because you have a profile up. You need to work at developing your network and improving your online visibility – before you need them for a job search. Social sites are a component of your job search toolbox. You must be proactive to make them work for you.
That’s what I talked about in my post on US News & World Report this week. 6 Ways to Boost Your Job Search on LinkedIn. Check it out!
