Interpretation Of Older Job Seekers Using Social Media

Manage your business well.

。

Visit your resume page every day to add new information to attract people. For example, you find some news related to your own hunting or expertise or areas of interest.

You can also share some information you find with others, such as exciting or thought-provoking content.

You can also join online alumni and industry groups.

In short, contact, contact and contact.

You never know which day the effort will usher in a noble person who can pave the way for his future interview, or a good hearted person who tells you which job is vacant, or a potential new client.

What you publish may also automatically appear on the search radar of the employment agency.

Nowadays, the virtual world is simple and the smart network is crucial to all job seekers in the job market.

But in the face of the sea of the Internet, you are still a sailor who has just come out of the sea, and is no longer more skilled than the younger generation who competes with you on weekdays.

Because lack of experience can cause trouble for you.

According to a survey conducted by job search website CareerBuilder, about two of the five managers responsible for hiring are currently using social media to investigate applicants. These social media managers say that based on some information found in social media, they have decided not to employ certain applicants.

This reminds me of older job seekers, even with the best intentions to use them.

They will also make mistakes or do not take action at all.

The following is my summary of some mistakes made by older job seekers using social media, which is a mistake they should avoid.

1. reckless.

It sounds easier to understand.

But now you can spend some time browsing your Facebook home page or subscribing to personal Twitter feed to see if you understand what this means.

Just like American professional tennis star Andre.

Agassi (Andre Agassi) said in his 1990 Canon camera advertisement that he was very successful, "image is everything."

Publishing inappropriate photos and comments will bring trouble to you one day.

Don't put your photos of drinking beer on the Internet, nor do you take photos that are stupid in costumes, even Halloween.

Don't make comments that suggest racial, religious, sexual orientation and age discrimination. Even if you do that, you only want to make a good joke or ridicule, and don't say that on the Internet.

In addition, never talk rudely to the former employer or boss.

2. do not understand what is already available on the Internet.

。

You must first check your background information on the Internet.

Start by searching your name on Google.

Perhaps you will be surprised to find that some news reports or blogs on the Internet mention you, but people feel that your image is not so brilliant.

On Facebook, you need to review those photos in your personal account.

Many photos are not released by yourself, but those uploaded by people who label you as "good friends".

When you see an inappropriate picture, put the mouse on the top right corner of the photo, remove it, or do not place the label of the photo in your name.

On Twitter, you can look up the comments on your personal account and find out the posts posted when others mention you.

Even if you can't delete that negative comment or picture, you can at least mention how they are prepared for future customers or employers.

3. no LinkedIn website resume.

I think this is the biggest mistake that older job seekers make.

In my opinion, LinkedIn is the basic social media resume tool that is suitable for all job seekers nowadays.

For enterprises, if they want to find the right person to fill the vacancy, LinkedIn website is often the starting point for them to search for talents.

For you, by this way, you can quickly establish a broadcast network of four sides, and even trace back to your childhood record.

In the highly competitive talent market, the wide network is the king's way.

Employment agencies like to hire acquaintances or acquaintances.

This is a fact checking process. It is true that it has not changed for decades.

So, when the hiring manager sees that you have an electronic resume, it can help them ease their worries and not worry because you are an elderly job hunter and are technically behind the times.
