Linkedin

Linkedin

Linkedin

Linkedin really didn't appeal to me initially.Until I saw it's potential. Linkedin allows you to share who you are and what you about almost as if you were in the same room with other key people. You can share your CV and what makes you tick with others. You can join groups and read about what is really going on and ask the questions that you want to ask in a way that you cannot within all the other forms of social media. In many ways its more open than a website and more approachable than calling a company as you might have done some years ago If you are looking for work in a certain industry it's a great solution to look at the Recruitment within the industry and to see what the decision makers are saying within that sector. There is a Privacy option however, there is a great opportunity as a Job seeker to promote yourself.

Talk about your Passion

An excellent way of using Linkedin without being pushy. Wise words on personal marketing

The Linkedin profile

The Linkedin profile provides an excellent opportunity to allow recruiters and potential employers to see your CV, Employment history, Interests and your ability to put your Skills and knowledge across without having to push. Instead contribute.  

 Linkedin Posts

Linkedin Posts

Linkedin Posts[/caption] Linkedin Posts are an opportunity to share your skills and knowledge on a subject that you might be passionate. Keep it relevant. Think before you post. maybe its worth seeing what others think of your posts As I write this page I regard myself as something of a novice on Linkedin, so my views and experience is limited. However, I feel that it's worth looking at .

Skills and Endorsements

LinkedIn provides the opportunity for others to endorse you. To vouch for you. Almost like a reference. This is a particularly usefull tool for Recruiters and employers. You can choose those key words and others can endorse you. In today's employment market that is an effective resource.

 I wanted to Review-Top 10 Recruitment web sites and features to look at what they had to offer.

What do they offer you?-Review-Top 10 Recruitment web sites and features

John Fairest AIEP

  As you can see I have measured this review on certain key criteria

• Vacancy Count including Category or region
• CV Building & Support
• Training courses
• layout
• Additional information
• Social Media

Why these Categories in Regards to Recruitment web sites?

Vacancies-

is a clear indication as to whether the web site is going to be the best from your viewpoint If you are looking for a vacancy in your sector you want the web site to have a number of vacancies in your sector of future employment and ideally in your area of the country.

CV Building-

The CV is the information that the Computer will see first of all. Ideally you want to find a good web site that has a CV Builder that you understand and that you can create the CV that will pass the computer filter and that the Employer will choose to view.

Training-

The Recruitment site that has interesting training advice and guidance may make you reflect on where you should go from here and where you might consider developing your skills base.

Layout-

We each have our own individual layout tastes and opinions. In my view I like to be able to easily find my way around. If I cannot, i like a video to explain to me what I can find if I look.

Additional Information-

Are you a mature Job seeker, wandering when to call it a day, dont understand the New Recruitment methods. Well I look at the fact that the last few sites featured on the video look at a number of these factors. Is there a different CV for the younger Job seeker to the more mature Job seeker?

Conclusion

The video lasts 18 mins  but covers briefly a number of sites all of which i have selected as being Generic .I hope it provides you with a chance to look at whats on offer.

Twitter -Job search

Twitter job Search

Introduction

Twitter has in the last two years become a significant way of searching for work. In this article we look at how Twitter is being used as a mechanism by DWP and recruitment companies in the U.K to promote Job opportunities. We look at how your Search through Twitter may work

DWP JobCentre plus & Twitter

In the last year most of the Job Centres throughout the U.K have started Tweeting out job adverts on a daily basis. There are a number of ways you can search.
One method is to go to twitter and search by typing out the name of your local U.K DWP Job Centre and follow the job centre on your own twitter account.
This does not mean that the local Job centre will look at your Universal Job Match account and say wow Mr Smith you have followed our "Twitter account " Therefore you have completed your Job Search and all is well. Rather, it provides you with the leads and you follow them up. its a faster way than the weekly or daily local newspaper in producing the Job leads.
However, there is also often a need to be registered with the recruiters advertising the job. However, Key word may be of use. Certainly is a relatively new method of Job Search.

TwitJobSearch

 Tweet job search Certainly Twit Job Search has the advantage of providing information quickly and can be found on many Job search. Many companies use Twitter as a suitable method of communication and thus we can see on the map the location of the map. Very hands. Again there are options for looking at the town and as with all search options looking for the key words that may work with the type of work we are seeking.

Key Words on Twitter

Each Job advertised may have key words included in it. If you can find the type of Job you are seeking then look for the key words that are being highlighted and see if these are the key words being used by Twitter or Google etc. Key words may be the future for your Job search in the Search engines.
