Week 12- How to use social Network to boost your career?

So we all have social media networks and make connections but are those connections for personal reasons or not.  Social media is important but did we ever wonder about using our social media networks for job searching.

Allison Doyle article using social network to boost your career talks about social media searching which is using social media networks such as LinkedIn or Facebook for a job opportunities. Using these social media networks as job opportunities allows you to get a feel for the company and be able to check out the job right then and there and fill out the application instead of seeing the job post and then going into to fill out the application. Also by  seeking opportunities on social media networks it allows the job recruiters to see who you are.


Allison Doyle talks about how employer recruits use social media. She states more and more employers have been expanding their hiring procedures to incorporate social networking sites. hiring managers and recruiters use social media to source candidates, to post jobs, and to accept job applications(Doyle.2017). This is key because so much is being done online now and as mentioned already this gives us the employer a chance to dive in deeper on who you really are and how you would fit into their company.

Social media networks are great for the personal aspect of staying connected with your friends but keep in mind  of the job postings and that recruiters may be noticing what is being posted on your networks.
