JobHunters! Quick & Easy Social Media Tips

Brad Schepp
November 06, 2009
Job hunting is anything but fun, but at least you get to hangout on Facebook, for example. And when you do, it's for "business." Or is it? Let's explore how job hunters should be using these great tools.

Twitter seems silly at first but you get better at it as you use it as a business tool. So use applications like Twellow.

LinkedIn means you have your suit on. Act the part. But smile once in a while too.

Facebook is a great research source for you, but for your friends and others also. So for biz purposes (like job hunting) create a business page and make sure there's nothing there you wouldn't want your next boss to see. And keep all politics and anything at all controversial out of it.


MySpace is sorting things out now so there are better places to spend your time. (Time: that thing you used to have more of.)

When it comes to searching for a job, be open to anything. Even paper classifieds may work for you. As they (Larry and Woody) say, "Whatever Works."
