Introduction

Social media is an important way of life now. You put your company and your clients out there to be found but do you put yourself out there? Recruiters and hiring managers use social media to find potential job candidates. Here are some things you should be doing:

Step n°1 |
Make sure you show up in searches
Ensure your profile contains the keywords for the jobs you want. Remember that internship you had way back when? Make sure it doesn’t have keywords or you will be showing up in searches in an area you left a long time ago. Current keywords and no old keywords.
Step n°2 |
Add contacts
You want to be seen as much as possible and have anything you posted, shared.
Step n°3 |
Get a good headshot
You want to look as professional as possible. PhotoFeeler is a program that will review your online photo to make sure you are sending the right message.
