Why Use Social Media for Job Searching?

Last week I shared a video with you on getting registered with Linkedin. Today, I’m offering you another video on Linkedin to help you use it to its greatest potential.
Take a look at the video explaining the POWER of Linkedin and remember the details may be different, but the reality is all social networking is basically the same, so if you’re starting with Linkedin, don’t stop there. Spread the tentacles of your job search as far and wide as you can.
Social media can be a powerful tool to assist you in your job search. The more you know about how to use it to your best advantage the better off you will be.
Some people think that networking in all its many forms is about using people to get something. The reality is that when done properly networking, whether you’re using social media or doing it face-to-face, is about forming relationships. All relationships are give and take situations. Today someone may help you find a job and then further down the road of life you may be given the opportunity to return that service.
Just remember information about you on social media sites should be businesslike. People have been fired and lost out on job opportunities because of inappropriate or less than professional information on their social media sites.
