What advice would you give on how social media can help you get a job? (Image credit: socialmediaclass.us)
Usually when we talk about social media on this blog, we’re talking about how brands use the tools to connect with customers. But at SXSW, my Fleishman-Hillard teammates and I got to talk with Social Media Club about using these tools for a different reason — to get a new job.
How have you used social media to differentiate yourself to potential employers? What do you look for in candidates when it comes to social media? What’s the best way for candidates to use social media to connect with recruiters?
Who am I?
I'm a business communications consultant at Fleishman-Hillard. I used to call myself a PR professional, but I don't use that term anymore because people hear PR and they think only media relations.We do a lot more than that at Fleishman-Hillard Kansas City (FHKC). I specialize in social media, but am trying hard to brush up on my measurement and analytics. Every strategic consulting conversation should start with your business goals and how communications can help you reach them. My motto: "Your brand is what your customers say it is."
