Job Search Strategy using Facebook

1. Networking
 –   With the stats fresh in mind, we can assume that
     most of your colleagues and business partners will
     be on Facebook. Furthermore, we can assume that
     recruiters and prospective new employers (hiring
     mangers, HR people) will be on Facebook. This
     gives you a unique opportunity to network yourself to
     whoever is hiring at the moment.

Job Search Strategy using Facebook

2. Status Updates
  – The most obvious way to use Facebook for a job hunt
    is to update your status with your current situation
    and what you are looking for. Friends, family, old
    colleagues, long-time-no-speak acquaintances are all
    there to help you.

3. Facebook Marketplace
 –   Have a look through your local
     marketplace for job listings, you will
     be able to see a description and also
     who posted the job. You can now
     either apply or contact the person
     behind the position for more
     information.

4. Join and get active in groups
  – The groups on Facebook are just like LinkedIn
    Groups, a place to discuss and post news about a
    particular topic, industry or interest. You can add
    value to the group by joining in or starting
    discussions, posting links and other resources to the
    wall, moderating or managing sections of the group
    and so on.

5. Posting ads
  – It’s really simple to set up an ad campaign on
    Facebook. You can put a short ad together and link it
    to your bio. The more specific you can make it the
    better, you only want the right people clicking through
    as you pay per click.

• Conclusion
  Can Facebook really help you get a job?
  If you spend most of your time on Facebook anyway
  why not make it productive
  Add it to your social media job searching strategy along
  with LinkedIn, Twitter and any other platform you use.
  Another weapon in your job hunting arsenal is not going
  to hurt.

  – Having a clear, professional, friendly looking picture
    of you (and you alone) is expected.
• Professional Headline
  – By default LinkedIn will use your most recent job title
    for you professional headline. If that is not the job title
    you want to be known for, then edit your profile.
