Put yourself in this scenario:
You have some great skills and unfortunately just got laid off, so you need to find a new job as soon as possible.
What do you do?
In 2013, a resume is no enough and social media needs to be at the forefront of your online activities as you engage with businesses and look at potential job offers. The question is, are you as a job seeker doing everything you can to find that right job via social media and are you doing it effectively? We want to help you figure that out.
Want three tips for using social media for your job searches?

What do recruiters look at when on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook? Professionalism, personality, range of interests, qualifications, creativity, and communication skills.
Unfortunatley, social media is a big reason people do not get jobs, including issues of inappropriate photos or information, badmouthing previous employer, and lying about qualifications.
Beyond LinkedIn, how do you use or recommend others use social media for your job search?
