If you believe the hype, it would seem that all you need to do is turn on your computer, log into your favorite social media account, and your dream job will be waiting for you. For many of you, reality is much different, as social media for job seeking is something you have yet to meaningfully pursue. Our distinguished panel of experts separated fact from fiction and helped attendees embrace social media as one of many tools in your career arsenal. We addressed common questions, including:
How do I prepare for a social media job search?
How can I avoid common mistakes?
Which tools are right for me?
What should I share publicly?
Will this actually work?
Moderated by JobAngels (jobangels.org) founder Mark Stelzner (twitter.com/stelzner), our panel answered these questions and more, including an opportunity for attendees to pose their own questions directly to our experts. Please welcome coaches Miriam Salpeter (keppiecareers.com), Dawn Bugni (write-solution.com) and Shahrzad Arasteh (careerconsultmd.com) as they joined Mark for a taste of what these new and exciting tools have to offer.
