Job Hunting with Social Media - The New Way to Find a Job

About a year ago I was out of work, and looking for a job. Times were tough, and still are. Jobs were scarce. My Mom’s advice was to get the newspaper and start sending resumes out, and when I got an interview, make eye contact and give a firm handshake. Well, the eye contact and firm handshake may have helped, but in the end it wasn’t the newspaper that helped me get a job. I had a solid plan using social media that paid off, including a LinkedIn strategy, job search engines, an online portfolio and blog, and Facebook and Twitter.



LinkedIn is the hub of your job hunting social media presence.
