Social Media for Job Seekers

Networking is one of the most powerful (and successful) methods for job search, especially in challenging business climates. Are you using social media sites (LinkedIn.com, Facebook, Twitter) to your advantage? Attend this three-session course to learn techniques that can help to supercharge your job search. Bring your own laptop (helpful, but not required) for hands-on instruction. Session 1 is an introduction to the main three sites: LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Session 2 will give you insights into how to make the most of your presence on LinkedIn for your job search, and Session 3 will give you the opportunity to learn from others who have success stories using these sites. Each session will contain opportunities for you to incorporate your learnings in a hands-on workshop, and participants will be asked to apply their learnings each week. Laptops are helpful but not required.
