Get that Job Using Social Media?
Many people are turning to social media to find a job. No more are such sites only for your profile and a bit of banter but actual advertisements are being posted. I first saw this on Mashable. Now we are seeing more interaction among the social sites and nowhere is this more apparent than on LinkedIn which has witnessed a huge growth in users..
Medill reports the latest site to be doing this in a big way is MyPath. It provides advantages for the career-seekerand has already amassed nearly 200,000 users. According to MyPath, they offer a blend of expert advice with the best current user experience (social media platform). As a taster, check out career assessments and career planners.
But, they are not alone. A Google search will uncover other me-too companies prepared to compete on the same battlefield – companies such as Brightfuse which alone has over 2.4 million users since last August. Giant Monster is no slouch either and has already begun the fight by developing discussion communities.
I have yet to see virtual video interviews and the real world still beckons for many job applicants and their prospective employers.
