With the openness of social web and the power of networking, social media has become the new Word-of-Mouth! But is it different than all that we have experienced so far in our lives, where many of us have found jobs by talking to friends and family members? Well, you might already be using one or two social tools to network and search jobs. Having a strategy in place to show your expertise and passion for what you do, can attract recruiters before you even apply for a job! Two out of three companies are to expand Social Recruiting in 2014. That means more recruiters are going to be searching for you on social media. So let’s have a game plan! Join us to discuss your strategy in using social media to land your next great position.
