advertising yourself online<\/a>, you need to treat yourself as a brand. Most successful entrepreneurs are talented and hard-working, yes, but they’re also very good at managing their personal brand. Even when you’re looking for corporate work, having a personal brand reputation – treating yourself as something valuable – is a great idea.<\/p>\nFollow Company Profiles<\/h3>\n
All of the above is preparing for this moment; active networking. If you’re looking for a local job, you’re going to need a narrow search. If not, feel free to search globally. Look for any company that works in your industry and follow their page. You might be surprised at how often businesses post about their job opportunities. Even if they don’t, you can still get a good idea of their culture and values from their posts. If a recruiter finds your profile and sees that you follow their company, it’s a point in your favor.<\/p>\n
Connect With Industry Influencers<\/h3>\n
It’s one thing to follow company profiles; it’s quite another to follow the individuals responsible for hiring. This is easier with small businesses, those with smaller pools of active management. Track down and network with recruiters and CEOs, people in charge. All you’re doing is putting yourself out there, making connections and getting the attention of people who can make decisions. They’ll remember your positive interactions when it comes time to hire.<\/p>\n
Stay Active and Positive<\/h3>\n
Setting up all of your profiles does nothing to help you if you don’t use them. That’s why Twitter isn’t highly recommended; it requires quite a bit of activity to do properly, and if you’re not putting in the effort, it’s obvious. Other profiles are more valuable on a static level, but it’s always a good idea to stay active.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, you should always stay positive<\/em><\/strong>. If every post you make is about the futility of the job search and how much you hate looking for work, what is a recruiter going to think? Chances are they’ll pass you over for an employee with more initiative.<\/p>\nJoin Groups<\/h3>\n
Facebook (and LinkedIn) groups are a great way to keep networking and keep active. You should join groups of professionals in your industry<\/a>, which will help you network. You should also join groups of job hunters, and build good will by sharing job opportunities when you come across them, particularly if you aren’t looking at that specific job. This increases the odds of other job seekers sharing an opportunity you want with you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook isn’t just a haven for marketers and a time sink for over a billion people around the world.
