How To Use Social Media To Get Your Dream Job
No matter where I turn I see it. Companies have lost their funding, business
isn’t coming in, departments are closing and people are getting fired. I am lucky
that I haven’t been in this situation but I have had people write to me asking for
a job, looking for a break and wanting to get themselves back into the job
market.
I am not one for talking down the Economy. I certainly believe that life doesn’t
deal you a bad hand, but it’s actually how you deal with each hand dealt, that
makes it a good or a bad hand. I believe that everything in life certainly happens
for a reason; if you are dealt lemons, make lemonade! Often job security, pay
and job satisfaction are spoken about as ‘bad hands’.
What should you do if you lose your job?
If you do lose your job, you can of course just do what everyone else
does. Complete a CV, look through the local newspaper, and if you are feeling
really adventurous you could join a recruitment agency and ensure your CV is
on LinkedIn!
Whilst this is all very viable there is a new way to find that new job, to ensure
you have satisfaction at work and to try and reach the remuneration you really
want. Social media presents a new opportunity and a new way to interact with
potential employers. Social media allows you to stop interrupting potential
employers with your CV, but engage with companies online and build
relationships.
Jump on Social Media, and fast!
To get social media job hunting to work for you, you need to ensure that you
start thinking like a publisher of information. Create an online presence that
people are eager to consume. Share your knowledge and expertise with a
world that is looking for what you have to offer.
Use a blog to show off your expertise. Whatever your line of work, if you are
blogging regularly about your Industry, giving latest insights, views and
information, you are going to be highly regarded. Also use Twitter to look for

2. jobs. In the Twitter search bar, type the kind of job you are looking for, e.g.
‘social media jobs’ ‘marketing jobs’. Save these searches and check them on a
daily basis. If something sounds like a good fit then join in the conversation. I
use Twitter search regularly; Twitter search is a fantastic tool for connecting
with the right people.
