In the world of internet connection we find the good, the bad, and the ulgy. This post is really good I believe because this is not just pointing to one side of the employment sector. The sector of employment is somewhat unbridged in my point of view. There is HR …….. |and| ……………………………..Employment Seekers. The advancements of Hiring via online has been easier since the portal systems has existed but just in recent years (3 – 5 ). Users of the internet now are able to quickly and easily be part of the stage instead of the crowd. The problem is that our mass social networks are too huge for employers and they are gated. When an employer post a job title in a job bank. There is literally too many seeker to that job which creates a cumbersome task for the HR department. Should it be the other way around?
The ability to use twitter is easy as pie. My mother can use twitter and your 5 year kid can too! Twitter is considered to be a social network of course but the way it is created works in a different format than other traditional social networks. The other SN sites are like a big pool of people blocked off by friends and people that you know. Twitter is different, this system is created by smaller networks that shares commonality of keywords and easily linked to all of the small networks. The cool feature in Twitter is that your not blocked based on the people you don’t know. The block feature on Twitter is good because you can block user access AFTER you get the chance to view who this user is about.
So trying to tie up what is been said. Twitter is a tool for Employment because Employers can discreetly find that perfect employee for their company without causing stress and fear for the seeker. You are probably wondering how the seeker plays the role in twitter. Simple – They are the meat and the HR departments are the beast to prey on the best. How do we do this? Attraction – You need something that attracts the HR departments. Resumes, contacts and other things that sells yourself. I highly suggest to create a blog that entitles YOU as a seeker and build it as a resume. Start Twittering about your skills and how your skills can play a role in a company. Employers Seek and they shall recieve. It works both ways. Hope this helps someone….somewhere. I love input!

As your resume slips onto a HR desk your just a risk and a gamble. Your resume should be all about you and a strong investment for the company your applying to. If you don’t have a resume…get one… if you don’t know how…learn it! Start thinking why you need to work there! The skills and experiences that you have! Learn all you can about the business and know how to represent the company as if you were an employee there.
Network with people and never focus on one job! There is an old saying “Never put all your eggs in one basket” and I think it is fair to say it here. With the usage of the Internet our Networking spectrum is quite larger than it used to be. Forums, Twitter, Craigslist, Online Job banks, Facebook Marketplace, Myspace Jobs, and company websites offering positions. Be committed.
Four A’s to remember
Aptitude- What you like to do and what your good at!
Attitude- How you act depends on your attitude!
Appearance- Are you dressed proper for the job?
Attendance- Be where you say your be and 15 minutes early!
When you think about these you automatically think in that list order but when employer see it the other way so make sure your list is fulfilled in the 4 A’s.
Sometime next week I will be blogging about interviewing and how to avoid those hard questions!
