Social Job Search About More Than LinkedIn, Says Grammar Chic, Inc

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Aug. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- The career networking site LinkedIn has popularized and in many ways revolutionized the idea of the social job search. By using LinkedIn, jobseekers can network with other professionals, apply for jobs, and ultimately advance their careers, all from the convenience of their laptop, tablet, or mobile device. While LinkedIn remains an important tool for jobseekers, it is not the only social job search tool out there. In a new statement to the press, the career development experts at Grammar Chic, Inc. urge jobseekers to use all the resources at their disposal.

“LinkedIn is critically important for anyone seeking to find work through the Internet, and in fact we offer LinkedIn optimization services for our clients,” comments Amanda E. Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Grammar Chic. “However, there are other social job search tools that too often go underutilized. Jobseekers wanting to make the most of their circumstance need to use all the options available.”

These options include other social networks—Twitter foremost among them. “You’re probably not going to land your dream job directly through Twitter, but you can absolutely use it to build your personal, professional brand,” suggests Clark. “Twitter is exceedingly popular among professionals. Use it to tweet out insightful information about your industry or vertical. Any hiring manager or employer who sees it should come away impressed by your expertise, or at the very least by your sincere interest in your work.”

Clark says that different social networks can be useful for keeping tabs on targeted companies. “Is there a company you especially wish to work for one day? Like it on Facebook and follow it on Twitter,” Clark explains. “Not only will you be in the loop if the company ever announces that it’s hiring, but you will also get some insights into the corporate culture.”

Even Google+ can be an important tool for social jobseekers, Clark notes. “One of the first things a hiring manager is going to do, upon receiving your resume, is to search for you on Google,” she comments. “You need to make sure you are searchable, and the best way to do so is to have a Google+ profile. You can also use Google+ in a similar way to how you use Twitter, sharing articles that exhibit your expertise.”
