b'And a new week is upon us here at Warehouse and Operations as a Career, we appreciate you listening in today and hope you\\u2019re having a Productive and prosperous one. We had a great time last week visiting with so many Individuals at the Job Fair, it was great being able to speak with everyone out in the field and we hope you enjoyed the show! We\\u2019re going to try and get out and go mobile more often and talk to others, people really performing the tasks that you\\u2019re interested in! The topic of Job Seeking on Social Media came up a couple of times this month, maybe with us speaking about Resumes and Interviewing it\\u2019s been pushed to the forefront of our minds so I thought we\\u2019d look into that segment of the Recruiting and Sourcing or how the different Agencies are using Social Media to get the word out there on positions and job opportunities there working to fill & maybe we can discuss a few of our responsibilities as job seekers and applicants or maybe what we should be doing or need to be doing to get that interview and be placed in one of the positions. Here in a bit we\\u2019ll be visiting with an Administrator of just one such group and get their thoughts on what they are and how to use them to our advantage!
\\nFor today\\u2019s topics let\\u2019s start with the Job Boards, maybe that\\u2019s not really Social Media I guess but it is an on-line platform and there\\u2019s many many of them so I\\u2019m going to assume their each worth our time and energy.
\\nCompanies can utilize Job Boards as a form of advertising, posting the positions there needing to fill. There\\u2019s several that are free for the company to use but I find typically the positions are presented to a small market, maybe like a local market, and usually only hits or produces off of one or two keywords. To really reach us, or us the prospective employees, a company may subscribe to a service or purchase X number of resumes or hits for review. I mentioned keywords a bit ago, keywords could be something like Sanitation, Warehouse, Order Selector, Loader, words we may key in when we\\u2019re looking for employment or positions, what we\\u2019re good at or qualified to do. We use to look at the classified section on the newspaper to look for employment and companies that are hiring, a tedious process, carrying around a section of the paper every day. Job Boards seems to be the primary classifieds now as far as employment offerings go. There really easy to navigate and search by position and keywords, we can look at just the things were interested in. They make it easy for companies to search for candidates as well, keying in the same words of Sanitation, Order selector, Loader etc, they can see resumes from just those of us that possess those skills and are seeking those positions!
\\nMost all the larger ones, and there\\u2019s some Hugh ones out there with I guess like millions of hits a day are free to us job seekers, the employer pays to post or advertise their open position. As we\\u2019ve spoke to before, there can be a lot of candidates replying to the position were interested in and it\\u2019s of the upmost importance that our reply, our resume and work history is presented in such a way that it\\u2019s going to get noticed and were going to get that phone interview. I read an article from our Twitter feed last month where it stated that if we\\u2019ve spent less than a day writing our resume, rereading it and making changes then we haven\\u2019t put in the time needed to catch HR\\u2019s attention. I\\u2019m not certain about all that but as we\\u2019ve discussed before I do feel it\\u2019s important we present or sell our experiences and accomplishments and use as many keywords as is relevant to the job\\u2019s we\\u2019ve done and the position we\\u2019re after! If you missed our episode entitled The Resume, episode 5 I think, go check it out, I think we covered a few different types or formats and walked through using keywords to grab our hiring agent\\u2019s attention!
\\nSocial Media, while researching for this episode I learned that many people may ...'
