The document provides tips for using social media to fuel a successful job search. It discusses using platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to build your social resume, network with professionals in your industry, and engage with potential employers. Specific tips include highlighting volunteer work and professional memberships, maintaining a professional online presence, requesting recommendations, and following companies you want to work for on their social media pages. The document also notes that recruiters and hiring managers are actively searching social media for candidates.
A presentation I was asked to give at the EU Trainee Career Day on June 28, 2013, explaining the key role of social media in the job search process today. Social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter allow the employer to discover who you are beyond your resume, cover letter, or interview - but they also offer job seekers an opportunity to learn more about specific companies they are interested in, to connect with other employees at those companies, and stay posted on the latest job openings.
Using Social Networking in the Job SearchDavid Swinney
This is a high level, non-technical presentation targeted at those who need/want to be convinced that social networking and social media is a necessary component of the job search process. It includes links to a large number of resources that job seekers - including C-level executives - can use to establish and leverage their social media presence.
An overview to social networking sites & their usage for job search. The target audience for this presentation are individuals in career transition or newcomers to Canada - most without profiles on social networking sites.
Although this has been delivered as a workshop - it is best delivered as a series with both classroom and computer instruction time. Please contact me at socialwisdom.ca for more information.

A presentation on personal branding and how to use LinkedIn for college students. This presentation was given to the Economics Club at the City College of New York on 11/09/2017.
All professionals must plan their social media strategy.

Social media analytics gives organizations a snapshot of these needs with insights gained from online conversations. New technology has the capacity to capture customer information with remarkable power to impact and drive revenue. Social Media Analytics uses social listening and predictive analytic techniques that help corporations manage the brand and reputation of products and services. This workshop will increase your knowledge and awareness of social media analytics and explore new and innovative social media strategies that impact professional and business productivity.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.

Creating a social presence that recruiters want to see
9
A 2012 Jobvite survey reveals what recruiters want (and don’t want)
to see in your social resume:
• 80% report they DO want to see memberships in professional organizations
• 66% DO want to see mentions of volunteerism
• 61% say profanity is a major DON’T in social presence
• 54% say poor grammar and spelling mistakes are a major DON’T
• 47% say that mentions of alcohol consumption are not appropriate
10. •
Are they really looking?
10
Consider these numbers from Reppler.com:
• 92% of hiring agents use social networks to screen prospective employees
• 76% of these agents (69% overall) check Facebook as part of their search
• 42.8% of employees will check your Facebook after reviewing an application
• 69% of HR officers have rejected job applications based on social media reviews
• 68% have hired a candidate based on their social media presence

Building credibility
Through [social media] you can learn from your peers
in whatever discipline you’re in, or use it as a platform
to share content so you can build awareness of you
as a professional, and ultimately position yourself as
a thought leader in a particular expertise.
– Lars Schmidt, NPR’s Senior Director of Talent Acquisition and Innovation

15. •
Engaging with an influencer is important,
BEING an influencer is even more important.
• Be unique
• Be a great blogger
• Converse with the influencers
• Share relevant information from other influencers
• Share your own content
15
You’re awesome and can add value
17. •
Using Twitter for your job search
I don’t care what you had for lunch!
• Throw the misconceptions of Twitter out the window
• Twitter is an open network, making it easy to connect with hiring managers
and showcase your skills, talent, personality and style
• Developing a professional rapport with a recruiter is easier on Twitter than
in real-life
• It’s easier and more convenient for a recruiter to reply to your tweet rather than
pick up a phone
• Twitter facilitates conversations and responses quicker and easier
17
18. •
First impression is everything
18
Think of Twitter as a jumping off point to your more detailed online profiles
• Make sure you have a great online description and photo
• Make sure you are professional but also interesting, its ok to show
your personality
• Use keywords in your description
• Link back to your LinkedIn profile, your personal/professional blog, or your personal
website.
• Build lists – People that inspire you, for your industry, things that interest you
19. •
Build a solid network
19
Think of top 10 influencers in your industry.
Search for them on Twitter and follow their profiles.
20. •
You’ve built it, but will they come?
Nurturing relationships and finding out where your networks
hang out is just as important on Twitter as in real life.
Yes, actually network:
Easy method – Join twitter chats like #u30Pro, #hrChat, #tchat, #askAdecco
Hard method – You’ll have to step outside of your comfort zone
Start a conversation with someone, a company or an organization you wouldn’t
normally have the chance to talk to.

LinkedIn
• LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, with 200 million
members in 200 countries and territories around the globe
• Top site that employers use for initially finding candidates, followed
by Facebook and Twitter
• 48% of employers have used LinkedIn to screen candidates during
the hiring process
21
Sources: LinkedIn, Reppler, Bullhorn
22. •
Consider it your online resume
Be sure that your LinkedIn profile is complete and detailed
• Don't forget to make your profile public – customizing your URL will
give you a link that's easy to share. If your name is available use it.
• Create a killer summary – the more robust your profile the more you’ll
get noticed. Keywords are key here!
• Remember to write for the web when updating your status, sharing
content and updating your summary – use short blocks of copy, not long,
lengthy paragraphs.
• Add skills you know you excel at, even if it’s not in your current job description
22
23. •
Networking the social media way
23
Secret tip: When job searching turn off activity broadcasts
• Request recommendations and endorsements and be sure to return the favor
• Follow companies that you are interested in and participate in posted
discussions
• Join groups related to your job or your goals
• Keep track of who views your profile and connect with them
24. •
Companies are looking for you
• 80 percent of employers use social media to find candidates, which means
they’re looking for you
• Search for companies you want to work at and like their Facebook Fan pages
• Once your “Like” is registered, you receive news about the company directly
in your news stream – this makes engagement really easy
• Many companies now have “Work for Us” tabs and applications you can like
where you can search for jobs
• Targeted ads for jobs will reach you easier if you like more pages and interests
24
25. •
Grow your network
If you’ve decided to set up your profile to grow your network outside of your
personal circles:
• Become involved in Interest Groups
• “Like” specialty conference and event pages
• Subscribe and talk to people with similar professional interests or those
that can help you in your search like a career coach or a recruiter
25
26. •
Open Graph – A game changer
26
Facebook describes Open Graph like this:
• The Open Graph lets apps tell stories on Facebook.
• People use stories to share the things they're doing, the people they're doing
them with and the places where they happen. Open Graph lets you integrate
apps deeply into the Facebook experience, which increases engagement,
distribution and growth.
What does it actually mean?
• It means that your profile, what you like, what you listen to, who your friends
are, who games you play are all now easily accessible through any search,
if you’ve allowed an app access to your profile.
• It also means that your job search on Facebook has gotten
a whole lot easier!
