Social Media Tips



You’ve landed an interview – congratulations! A great way to secure your chances of success at the interview stage is to leverage social media to help impress and relate to the interviewer. From the comfort of your home, you can research the company you’re interviewing with, get to know the team you’ll join, and be sure you’re putting your best foot forward. This is your opportunity to make a great first impression, and by recognizing the social media as a straightforward tool for comprehensive information about many aspects of a company, you can illustrate your eagerness and receptiveness to your potential new employer.



Where can you look?



Twitter



Companies are tweeting their new job opportunities at an increasing frequency. Follow your target companies and keep your eyes on the “Twitter Feed”!



LinkedIn



This is your opportunity to join the conversation, reach out to people you know, and make connections to people you want to know.



Facebook



By “liking” a Company Page on Facebook, updates they make are automatically added to your newsfeed, and you can access all their previously posted information. It’s a good resource for further information.
