Step 3: The importance of SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES

Your social media should paint you in a very good light. If you get it wrong, it will paint the wrong picture of you and hurt your image. This is where you are the brand. Recruiters may be looking for candidates on social media and you will possibly be searched by your hiring recruiters. A social media search helps recruiters understand applicants better. Make sure you shape the right impression. And take note:

Interesting statistics from Workology for jobseekers to ponder:

  • Only 4% of Recruiters Don’t Use Social Media in Hiring. Read that again and think about it.
  • Of all the candidates, up to 50% are considering making a career change soon.
  • The usual recruiter decides whether to stay viewing or go in 6 seconds.
  • 51% of recruiting companies are using search engines like Google to find and check out candidates.
  • 98% of interested candidates are under qualified and 2% of candidates will actually get interviews.

Avoid:

  • Questionable photographs and personal life sharing.
  • Constantly sharing details of your private life.
  • Not being on Social Media at all is not good. At the very least, create an account on LinkedIn. LinkedIn lets you illustrate that you are capable of communicating digitally and are technologically savvy.

Use Social Media to help you. SIMPLE STEPS, HIRED FAST.

  • -Social media can help you look for work. www.topjobseeker.com has a strong Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Telegram presence. On these platforms we share new vacancies with our followers around the hour.
  • When you research a company that you want to apply to, check out their social media pages. Companies post relevant information, updates and events that can be extremely helpful to prepare you for the interview.

  • Share your photographs very carefully. Consider the pictures that an employee will want to see.
  • Match your most recent jobs, projects and skills. Recruiters will check and when social media profiles match your resume, it creates confidence in the jobseeker.
  • Jobseekers should always present themselves in an updated way on social media.  Recruiting managers often look for candidates before advertising vacancies.
  • Ask previous employees whether they will publicly recommend you.
  • Lastly, add “open to new opportunities” to make it clear that you are available on the job market.

LINKEDIN

LinkedIn is the recruiter’s number 1 social network and also the go-to network for jobseekers. Jobseekers’ top priority should be perfecting their LinkedIn profiles.   

  • Jobseekers on LinkedIn should create a customized URL (ideally linkedin.com/yourname). Now you can add your neat, professional LinkedIn url to your resumé and other social media accounts.
  • Work with a photographer or friend that is good with the camera. Discuss the soft skills you wish to convey. Warmth and passion, your type of energy and charisma, for example will come across. The photograph to your account, is packaging to product. 
  • Take the job descriptions of positions you’re looking for and enter them on a word cloud tool like Wordle. Now use the words that stand out in your bio, summary and other career information. They are the very catchphrases recruiters are looking for.
  • Try your best to think of someone that was happy with your work, and approach them for a public recommendation. Try to ask different individuals and request particular skills or experiences you would like them to mention. Be specific (and polite).
  • Join LinkedIn Groups of industry leaders.
  • Have at least 50 connections.
  • In your LinkedIn Company Name box add ‘In Transition’ or ‘Seeking New Opportunity’.

Follow accounts carefully. Who you follow and engage with on Twitter tells allot about you. The brands and people you engage with on Twitter directly impact your followers’ perception of you and may affect whether hiring managers believe you’re worthy of working for the company.

STEP 5: MASTERING the SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW. SIMPLE STEPS, HIRED FAST.

Again, prepare to use skill words during your job interview.

  • Practice a questions and answers scenario beforehand.
  • First pretend to be the interviewer. If this was your company and you are hiring, what would you want to ask? What answers do you need? What qualities are you looking for?  All the questions would be aimed to hear whether the candidate tells you it’s a good match, or not.
  • As the candidate, you want to give every reassurance that you understand the requirements of the job position.
  • By using skill words and how or when you would use these skills, you instill confidence that you understand the job requirements.
  • Prepare 3 questions of your own. These questions are very important.  Inform yourself and research the company and vacancy until you feel comfortable. Your questions will show the fact that you did research and through your intelligent, well prepared questions, you will convey that you went the extra mile. That counts.

Three points need careful looking at during your research, that should also become your questions:

  1. Discuss: the company’s apparent direction, mission and values and what it seems to be about. Question: Ask your interviewer to explain to you the company’s 5 year achievement plan. What are they aiming for by the end of the year / 5 years?  
  2. Ask your interviewer how your role in the company would help the company reach success? Which of your skills would mostly be needed?
  3. Lastly, ask your interviewer what could be expected as the biggest challenges regarding your role.

End your interview with a thank you and wish your interviewer well.
