Using social media, you can get connected to the alumnae of your dream company, more detailed information about the companies, recruitment updates etc.<\/p>\n<p>In the present day most of us have account in various social media viz.\u00a0<strong>LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter <\/strong>etc. However, merely having\u00a0<strong>social media accounts<\/strong>\u00a0will not help you in securing a job through social media. For which one should have the most appealing profile, so that the recruiters will shortlist you for interview. Let\u2019s try to\u00a0<strong>understand How to use social media for job search<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Be it LinkedIn, Facebook or any other social media, where you are planning <strong>social media for job search<\/strong>, let your connections (friends) know that, you are\u00a0<strong>looking for a job change<\/strong>. This will help you to hear about any job vacancies through your connection, before they get listed in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexwarrier.org\/top-10-job-listing-websites.html\">popular job listing websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Use facebook more frequently, and get in touch with all your friends in your friends list. This will help you for an easy reference in case of any <strong>referral program<\/strong>. Further, ensure that, your <strong>facebook profile<\/strong> is private. This will help you to hide much of your <strong>personal data<\/strong> visible to the employer.<\/p>\n<p>Once you find any job notification do a basic search on various social media about the <strong>hiring manager<\/strong>. This will help you to get details about the hiring manager and accordingly you can plan for your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexwarrier.org\/resume-writing-tips-how-to-write-a-covering-letter.html\">covering letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Further, it is recommended to mention your <strong>Twitter handle<\/strong> OR <strong>LinkedIn<\/strong> <strong>profile URL<\/strong> on your <strong>resume<\/strong>. This will enable you to get connected with the <strong>hiring manager<\/strong> and to establish a personal interaction with him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2192 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Read more on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexwarrier.org\/how-to-write-a-internship-resume-for-law-student.html\">How to write a resume<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Always categorise your <strong>facebook friends list<\/strong>. So that, you can restrict your updates from your <strong>professional friends<\/strong> and they can only see what you share with them. Further, merely adding too many people on LinkedIn or any other <strong>social media<\/strong> will not necessarily help you in getting the right job. Hence, get connected to those people who can really get you a job.<\/p>\n<p>Get listed in <strong>Google Search<\/strong>. Keep your <strong>LinkedIn profile<\/strong> active and get it listed in the Google Search, so that, the employer can find out you on the top of the <strong>search result<\/strong>. All major social media viz. Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are great place for obtaining <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexwarrier.org\/category\/career-guru\">career advice<\/a><\/strong>. Similarly, take part in industry specific <strong>chat rooms<\/strong> OR groups, and actively participate in discussions. Thereby you can increase your <strong>web presence <\/strong>and get notified by various employers OR <strong>hiring managers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social media\u00a0can play vital role in your job search.
