Brief Session Description
Using Social Media Effectively as a Job Search Tool
Over the last few years job hunting has gone digital. Using social media to build your career is becoming mandatory for success. Employers use social media to post jobs, share information about their companies and screen potential applicants. While the digitally savvy are using it to access the hidden job market, build their networks, connect with potential employers and position themselves as qualified candidates. In this workshop taught by Socially Active's Cher Jones you'll learn exactly what employers are looking at in your social media profiles, how to audit your online presence, which sites are the best for job hunters and how to use them strategically to get a job.
