In her blog, my Facebook friend Lindsey Pollak cites the case of her own (brand new) husband Evan, who got a job through LinkedIn and was featured in this article by Alison Doyle.
Pollak also cites other articles by Doyle that offer tips on networking and job-searching through social-media venues like Facebook and LinkedIn. A couple of these that can relate to the “stories” job-seekers tell in social media are:
– Be sure to include keywords in your profile that are related to the jobs you want to find. Not sure what words will pop? Grab words and phrases directly from job listings that appeal to you.
– Post content that is professional and relevant to your career, such as links to articles you’ve written and testimonials about your professional skills and experience.
