Presenter: Tony Restell, Founder of www.Social-Hire.com
Whatever industry you work in, right now there are executives who are furthering their careers through the intelligent use of social media. You could be one of them if you just knew how best to leverage these tools - and that's what I focus on in the second part of this presentation.
More worryingly, there are also jobs being filled in your industry that you weren't even aware of. That's because those openings are being filled via social channels rather than ever being openly advertised. In the first part of this session I concentrate on helping you understand how to go about searching for a new job in today's economy - and the crucial role that your social media presence now plays. Trust me, you almost certainly haven't taken all the steps you need to have taken to address this shift!
I'm very grateful for all the business leads and help that my network have provided me with over the years. So I ran this webinar as my way of giving something back. I hope it also proves helpful to you - and if you'd like more insights like this simply follow us:
