As we are all aware, the unemployment rates are increasing, and as of Wednesday of this week NetSuite bought the company I was working for, QuickArrow. As thoughts and emotions continue to decompress, I continue to relate the same message to my now former co-workers which is that thoughts become reality. If we are proactive in searching for a new job, following up on our leads, networking, staying active - then something wonderful will come our away.
There are a lot of people searching for jobs today, so why not use social media to find one? Use Twitter. Send out Tweets letting people know you are looking for a job. You can use your bio and profile keywords to let users know you are job hunting. Use Facebook. Write daily updates on your status to let friends know you are job hunting. Be more specific in your About Me section describing the type of job you are looking for. Use LinkedIn. There are a lot of recruiters on this social networking site who are looking to hire. Make sure your profile, contact info and resume are up-to-date.
Knowing someone is the key to landing an interview, getting someone on the phone, and getting a job. Building relationships through social media is the ticket to your career and ultimate success.
