I recently found an article that discussed how people searching for jobs can find them easily through a social media tool such as a company’s Facebook or Twitter account. Even though this seems like an easy way to find jobs, not many people are using these resources. Which seems counteractive, because if you were searching for a social media job, shouldn’t you follow the company on social media? It would then give you access to their current strategy and give you (as an interviewee) suggestions on how to better the company’s image.
I can understand why someone would avoid following a company; it gives the company a direct link to you, which may not be the best representation of yourself. However, you need to consider the possible benefits and the chance that a company will probably list a social media job on these sites before they post it anywhere else. So it would be beneficial for anyone searching for a job to go directly to the source.
