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.

Start extending your personal brand by joining and participating on discussions on facebook and lindedin. Q&A section is in linkedin and specialized groups are in both sites. Answering questions and participating in discussions is the best way to promote you. The web scouring recruiters and people who enjoy your posts can add and connect with you if you leave your email address, signature and other media information at the bottom of your message. The only way is for this to be sincere and consistent. Jobconcierge facebook is the best way to start. Frustration makes people quit and but you become successful by giving small time periods weekly or monthly.

Merging social networking with the job applications is the second step of differentiating the application of your job. The very time consuming and tiring which can call job itself. Start from the best job board. This is a must if you want to maximize your chances for getting your next job and want to be thorough. When you start finding jobs accordingly by online job search than you must classify the job results in the following categories: (1)ideal job or (2) willing to work there. The chance of getting more interviews totally depends on the numbers of the jobs you applied for as it is a game. I know people who applied to 100 jobs in a week have only been getting interviews regularly. In this you get an assigned HR recruiter who search jobs and apply it for you what the Jobconcierge helps. The executive search services 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.

Think strategically and take things one step further now. In past seven days I've had two Jobconcierge members thank me and tell me they each have received job offers. How they did it? It is not any miracle. The online job search took care by their Jobconcierge each week and found relevant jobs for them. They reached out and networked with people on LinkedIn for ideal level jobs. Their Jobconcierge filled out and submitted their applications for all the other jobs. Job searching is itself a full-time job. It means using your time in most efficient way and maximizing your results. 50 hours a month is spending by an average jobseeker online and getting nowhere. By classifying jobs you find online, starting a proactive job search, and reaching out to various connections on LinkedIn things can be taken one step further. How far you get might be surprised you.
