By Hannah Morgan Every day recruiters and hiring managers are using social networking platforms such as
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram to scope out candidates. They may search by employer, keywords, geography, or some other combination of criteria. You probably spent time optimizing your LinkedIn profile. You can use many of the same strategies to enhance your Facebook profile. Done well, it can supplement or, done right, replace a copy of your resume in a recruiter's or hiring manager's hands. By Hannah Morgan When you were checking out a potential employer, you may have used the company’s website,
Glassdoor, or even spoken to people you know who work for the company. But have you checked out the company’s Facebook page? You can learn a lot about a company by seeing what they post on Facebook and what others post about them – more than just the official “party line.” Check out these 7 sources of information on Facebook. By Chris Russell
Someone referred by a current employee is the person most employers prefer to hire. Even if you don't end up with a referral as the result of your contact, you may learn "insider information" about specific employers and jobs as a result of reaching out to insiders for something that may be an informational interview. So, the result can be a better network, more information, and,
possibly, a referral by an employee. All good!
