The reason we all are going to school is to increase our chances of finding good job. In today's global market and the state of the economy, it is harder to find one. One great tool to find a job is to use social networking sites, specifically LinkedIn. 90% of Fortune 500 companies are using LinkedIn to recruit employees, so make sure you maintain an account with LinkedIn. How can we use it to find a job?
First, you need to find a target market, or all the companies involved in your career path. For example, if you want to work as an accountant, you need to know all the accounting firms you may want to work for. Then, start joining on LinkedIn to different groups associated with these companies, such as the National Association of Accountants.
The third step you need to take is to fill out your LinkedIn profile. You can ask prior employers, and professors to write recommendations for you. Moreover, you need to start writing on that organization's site, blogs to fill out your LinkedIn profile.
The next step is to get into the inner views and start calling potential employers. Call them for career advice, and follow up after you send out your resume.
The final step is to go to interviews and make a grand impression. Show them why you are an asset and how your addition to the company will be valuable for both of you.Following these steps will give you an edge on landing that job.
Good Luck.
