Find Executive Jobs Advice: Executive Social Networking Online

By Jason Lee

From recent graduates to executives who are earning over $100k a top embrace social media and start a proactive job search. The recruiting industry is changing over the past year dynamically; finding candidates via posting ads on the traditional job boards or hiring headhunters is replaced by the method of looking at the candidate's profile on linkedin or using their own due diligence. If you haven't made your account on linkedin, twitter, facebook than make it today. In today's environment you have to upgrade yourself otherwise you will be left behind. As the limited space is given , I'll skip the basics and take my concerns on personal branding and differentiating your job applications with linkedin.

The easiest way of extending your personal brand is to join and participate in discussions on Facebook and LinkedIn. Specialized groups are there in both facebook and linkedin. Promote by answering questions and participating in discussions. Leave a signature with your email address at the bottom of your message and other social media information so that headhunters scouring the web cab add and connect with you. Sincerity and consistency is the key. The jobconcierge facebook is the great way to start, if you not started yet. People quit in frustration but which people succeed in who give quantity of time to this weekly or monthly.

The job applications can be differentiated by merging social networking with job application. Job search through job boards is takes a lot of time and is tiring which can be defined as a job itself. Start from the best job boards. It's a must to do if you really want to be thorough and broaden your chances for your next job. If you find results of your job search than start categorizing them in the categories which are: (1) ideal job or (2) willing to work there. Applying for jobs is a game as much as you applied for as much as you get interviews. People may talk about quality, but reality what I have seen people applying for 100 jobs in a week and consistently getting interviews. The Jobconcierge service helps you as it assigned a HR recruiter for you which search and apply jobs for you accordingly. Search services by executives really works.

The search can be more refined by using the search box which is their in linkedin in right upper hand side. The members within 1st and 2nd degree connections are contacted by the clients , I suggested. You can make a basic ground by joining the same interest groups in which the person is to whom you want to contact and in which there is no basic ground. By messaging people and talking them on phone is the best way to know more about the company what we suggested. The surprising thing is the results that how many people are willing to help. Whether they have any information on the posting can be judged through the conversation if you know anyone in a particular division can bring you a HR contact or you can send your resume directly to HR attached with a suggestion.

Now take things one step further by thinking strategically. Two Jobconcierge members have thanked me in last seven days for job offers they received. How was it possible? It is not only by God grace. Job search was taken care by their Jobconcierge online and relevant results searched out each week. On linkedin they reached out and connected with people for ideal level jobs. The applications were filled out by their Jobconcierge and submitted for the all other level jobs. Searching jobs means a full-time job itself really. It can be defined by efficiently using your time and maximizing your results. Searching jobs online and getting nowhere is what a average job-seeker do by spending 50 hours a month. Things can be taken one step further by classifying jobs you find online, starting a proactive job search and reaching out to various connections on LinkedIn. You get how far is really surprised you.
