It’s become increasingly important for job seekers to be aware of their social media presence. Employers are checking out not just your LinkedIn profile but all of your social pages and using different tools to see how you present yourself online and make sure you’re going to be a good match for their opportunity. On this week’s episode, we have iMPact President Matt Peal and recruiter Katy Cole joining the show to discuss how to manage your social presence for professional gain.
- What employers are looking for on social media when researching a candidate
- What do employers look negatively on that candidates tend not to be aware that they’re doing wrong with their social media
- When someone is getting ready to look for jobs, what are some things they should be doing with their social media to present themselves in the best possible way to potential employers
- From a recruiter standpoint, what can a job candidate do to increase the chances not only that a recruiter will find them, but also want to connect about opportunities.
- What candidates can to do stand out on LinkedIn and specifically, what are some things most candidates don’t do that could help set them apart
- Social media sites that job seekers may not think of for job searching that are more effective for job searching than they might realize
- When preparing to send in a resume and cover letter, or preparing to go in for an interview, in what ways would you recommend using social media to research and prepare?
- Social media stories that stand out.
Before we start working with a client, we will research them, have in-depth conversations with their hiring team and visit their facilities to get to know them and what makes a candidate successful in their company culture.
