Job Searching with Social Media For Dummies is a book about using the social media to find a suitable job. Social media is a crucial component of the modern job search. You can improve your chances of a potential employer finding you and realizing how motivated you are by a particular industry or position if you know more than just how to accept a friend request or post a status update. You'll want to create an attention-grabbing LinkedIn profile, protect your personal information on Facebook, and take advantage of the real-time nature of Twitter.
For anyone looking for a first job, exploring a career change, or just setting up for future success, social media is a proven platform for facilitating connections, demonstrating passions and interests, and ultimately landing the job. Joshua Waldman, author of “Job Searching with Social Media For Dummies” enables you to harness the power of the Internet to research and identify job opportunities, and create a strategy for securing a position.
The book will cover topics such as: creating effective online profiles and resumes to sell your strengths; maintaining your online reputation (and ensuring that employers who Google you like what they find) and understanding electronic etiquette; using the power of personal branding and building your brand online; avoiding common pitfalls, such as jumping into filling out a social media profile without a strategy; getting to know Twitter, the only real-time job board with literally thousands of jobs posted daily; using social media sites to uncover opportunities in the “hidden job market” ahead of the competition; and much more.
