Hi Everyone,
One Tuesday, April 3rd, Marylhurst's Career Services Program sponsored an event featuring Social Media expert Joshua Waldman.
The event, called 7 Top Mistakes Job Seekers Make Online is geared toward students who are actively getting into the job market and want to understand how social media is being used in hiring practices.
Joshua is the author of of "Job Searching with Social Media for Dummies" and after his presentation, Alex and I took the opportunity for a photo op.
Here are the 7 Mistakes Job Seekers Make Online according to Waldman:
1. Not having a well defined brand across platforms (Align your values)
2. Using your job title in your professional headlines (You are not your job.)
3. Rambling on and on in your profile summary (5 lines or less)
4. Not using LinkedIn's applications (Show what it important to you.)
5. Not having 100% LinkedIn profile (Dress it up and fill it out completely.)
6. Looking like an axe murderer (Your photo matters!)
7. Leaving your online relationships online. (Get the meeting or phone call as quickly as you can.)
Social Media is quickly becoming a part of all our lives--including the job search.
All the best,
Joanne
