Now I know that everybody thinks that social media is something that is just used for asians to post pictures of their food. There is also the meta version of that, http://picsofaznstakingpicsoffood.tumblr.com/, so I understand why some people see it as a wasteland. I am here to say that social media and networking are your friends. Over the next week I plan on posting a series of posts about how you can use social media and networking to your advantage.
1. Facebook - Hide, Lock, and Run
2. Twitter - How can Twitter help me find a job? Shut up and listen child.
3. Reddit - Ok you're joking right?
4. Google+ - Curtis, I thought you stopped smoking crack. Did you relapse?
5. LinkedIn - Professional Facebook, also learn from my mistakes and don't repeat them.
6. Random google tricks - no seriously, this is actually cool stuff.
Facebook, I will teach you to lock down your account and make things visible that you want employers to see and hide what you don't want found. Also simple steps to keeping your information private from apps that your friends use.
Twitter - Hashtags will be your saving grace. Ever do a search for #jobs? You might be surprised.
Reddit - Why you should have at least two accounts and how to find jobs and networking on your favorite sub-reddits.
Google+ no seriously, I will cover google+ and why if you haven't set one of these up, why it is needed more than ever.
LinkedIn - This is your most valuable asset by far. You might get spammed by joining this site, spammed by people wanting to give you jobs!
Random Google Tricks - How you can use the advanced search to get information about a company that will put you ahead of the game in an interview.
I will be posting a post a day for the next six days. So stick around kids and enjoy the ride.
