Social networking is an intregal part of your job search or career building. Social media participation has become an essential tool in networking with professional contacts, making new contacts, and keeping in touch with the world. There are many options for using social media to advance your careers or reputation. Some of the most popular are Twitter, Facebook, Blogspot, and Linkeden. There are a few rules to follow when using social media for your careers. You need to project a professional image at all times because you never know who is watching. Use wisdom and share positive comments and when sing photographs make sure they are discreet.
You can use social media to build relationships and trust and let a future employer get an idea of who you are by how you present yourself. When using Facebook as your personal page you can add an extra page by clicking on create a page and follow the prompts. This page is separate from your profile and you can use it to post articles and links related to your profession. Twitter is one of the most effective social networking tools for promoting yourself. It is best to keep tweets related to your career and you can set it up so your Facebook page updates posts to Twitter directly. Start following people and when they follow you follow them back. Start commenting if you have a blog and visit other blogs and comment to gain a presence. My Twitter account is RebeccaKelley54.
