For years, I have been preaching a job search strategyh promoting the thought that if you travekl allavenues simultaneously, you are more likel to find your destination. At no time has this approachy been more critical than today with so many people looking for Although we seem to have no problemm accepting the concept of reinventinhour images, there exists a large group of candidates who turn away from more intimidating Simply, some are unwilling to enter the wilderness of unknownb technologies. Baby boomers are most often risk-averse when it comes to job searchh technologies, thereby fulfilling the prophecy ofcareer obsolescence.
It is far more difficulft for a CFO to admithe doesn’tr use Twitter because he’s expected to know what it is. And I meet candidatexs daily who assure me they are linkeed inat church, though they’ll sheepishly acknowledge that’zs not what I asked. If your replie s are “what’s that?” or “not then you are dangerously stalling your job Connecting to colleagues online brings benefitsa tojob seekers, yet many harbor fears so they stay I, too, was afraid of new technologies becauser I didn’t want to face But once I began to discover job openings on tech toolzs that didn’t exist in 2005, I couldn’t affordd to be the one excluded.
For me, these are most LinkedIn (linkedin.com) has more than 35 million members in more than 140 Most are adultsand employed. Executives from all Fortune 500 companied areon LinkedIn. Most have disclosed what they do andwherde they’ve worked in the past. To job seekersx looking to researcha company’s decision makers, look no furtherr than LinkedIn. It can offer great informationb forthe interview. But it is as importan to be seen, as it is to be able to locatse and learnabout others. If a human resourcea officer wants to research a prospective executivebut doesn’t see him on she may feel he won’t be on the leading edge.
With LinkedIn, you can join discussio n groups, answer questions submittedx by President Barack spread the wordthat you’rew in the job market (no stigma if done properly) and secure endorsements from your It is imperative that you create a profile. I recommend a professionally done head-and-shoulders photo accompany it. A health-cares company from Albany, N.Y., recently called my firm in its searcy for asales representative. We had a great candidated who had retained us for coaching earlierthat day. Not activelg job hunting, she had no and when I called the company they almost passedon her. Getting I suggested the employer review and accept herLinkedIn profile.
The following day they met. We caughyt up with creating her resume, which is far more but a LinkedIn presencd openedthe door. Twittee (twitter.com) was born just three years ago from the geniue of two young men in San Unlike LinkedIn, Twitter is a living entity reminiscen of the original Web chat rooms with a slighr delay. Within the Twitter communities, those with commonalitg of purpose and motive tend to When you sign up with you secure a screen name and can use it to post and receivw messages to a networkof contacts. Instead of sendinf a dozen e-mails or text you send one message to yourTwitte account, and the service distributes the communicatioh to your friends.
Members use Twitter to organize carry on agroup conversation, or send a quick update. You selectively follow the folkx who provide valuable information to your job searchj and others inevitablyfollow you. Whils I find it enjoyable to follow members of the my sole purpose for participating is to harvest job openingw formy clients. Therer are numerous organizations to follow that can be segmented by I am most intriguedby @job angels, @startuphire.
I find who to followw by scoping out the home pagex of colleagues following those who are likelty to tweet either sage advice or job During aMay seminar, an executive recruiter from Atlantaw helped train our candidates on phone Spending 10 minutes with each job she provided a critique on communicatiojn skills and messaging. We met on Twitter and have forged an alliancr out ofcommon interests. No doubt, this is only one storuy of collaboration what could be more fulfilling for the isolatesdjob seeker.
Some word of caution: Twitterr can be very casual and, should you engage with folksd in enjoyableconversation alone, you might be thinkl that no one else will read your That would be a Much like e-mail, instant messaging blogs, and LinkedIj discussions, anything on Twitter is storex in some permanent Internet Data security folks have mentioned blocking and privacy devices, but I would never take the
