Use On-line Social Networking Sites to Find Work.

On-line social networking gives you direct access to the hiring manager

 

Are you posting resumes on all of the on-line job boards to no avail? If so then you might want to give on-line social networking try. I can tell you from experience that it is not uncommon for you to submit your resume on-line and it will never reach who it was intended for, why? A lot of companies use applicant tracking systems to handle their resumes, and two problems exist with this technology. 1. You answered a screening question incorrectly therefore your resume is not forwarded. 2. The system received too many responses and the recruiter or HR manager may have overlooked it.

 

When this happens an exceptional candidate can be lost. A great way to get around this is with on-line social networking groups like LinkedIn , Zoom Info , Facebook , or Recruiting Blogs. These sites provide you direct access to hiring managers, human resources, or recruiters in many different companies or organizations. You can navigate these sites and identify the people you are looking for so that you can send your resume directly to them. It is the latest trend with unemployment on the rise nationwide.  The competition is tight and you need every advantage possible to get the job you want. On-line social networking sites provide a much less formal atmosphere as well. If you are looking for another way to prove you are the best person for the job then give on-line social networking a try, it just may land you the job.

 

Some tips

 

·         Create a profile that highlights your experience

·         Have a professional photo

·         Be honest about what you are looking for

·         If you have a video resume use it

·         If you are emailing someone about a job ask if you can email your resume directly to them.

·         Grow your network

 

 

These simple tips will help you attract attention fast so that you can identify something quickly. It takes time but with persistence and creativity it can pay off. Good Luck
