A Creative Way to Use Facebook for Job Hunting

September 26, 2016 by Jeff

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter discusses a creative way to use Facebook for job hunting.

[spp-transcript]

This is a creative tip and I say it’s a creative tip because it is an underutilized one. I know with Google, you are used to seeing advertising around the page and I’m sure you’ve noticed that Facebook does the same thing.

Facebook is remarkably inexpensive and terrific way to promote yourself. For you people in a creative field, why not do a campaign on Facebook. It’s very inexpensive; you can choose the demographics of who the ad is displayed to. You can run campaigns for a few dollars per day and put your impressions in front of people, perhaps link it back to a website or page on Facebook where you can promote yourself and your capabilities.

Creative ideas like this for creative professionals go a long way toward helping you stand out from your competition. Don’t just go for the conventional route. Look for ways that you can reach out to individuals who might be a position to go, “how. That’s a great idea!” Click through to you and then be interested in meeting with you.

Do you think employers are trying to help you? You already know you can’t trust recruiters—they tell as they think you need to know to take the job they after representing so they collect their payday.

The skills needed to find a job are different yet complement the skills needed to do a job.

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter has been a career coach and recruiter for what seems like one hundred years.

JobSearchCoachingHQ.com is there to change that with great advice for job hunters—videos, my books and guides to job hunting, podcasts, articles, PLUS a community for you to ask questions of PLUS the ability to ask me questions where I function as your ally with no conflict of interest answering your questions.

Opening Your Facebook Privacy Settings

August 24, 2016 by Jeff

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter explains the value of opening your Facebook privacy settings to public view.

[spp-transcript]

Let’s talk about Facebook privacy settings for a moment. No, I’m not going to be scolding you to set your privacy settings so that you can’t be found. In fact, I want you to set your privacy settings so you can be found.

Why? Because LinkedIn is only one tool that recruiters and employers are using to find talent for their clients, to network with people, to do their job.

My philosophy is that the person who gets ahead isn’t always the smartest work the hardest although those are great qualities to have. The person who gets ahead tends to be the one who remains alert to opportunity; sometimes those are internal to organization; most of the time the external.

If there are things that you are doing on Facebook that are drawing positive attention by employers or recruiters or others, why not make it easy for them to find you and talk with you about it?

One of the things that you should do is make it clear from you work. But your job title in. Make it obvious what profession you’re involved with. You don’t need to do it to the same degree you might on LinkedIn.

However, Facebook’s search can be used by recruiters and others for networking and hiring.

You may say to yourself today, “I don’t want to be annoyed by these people.” That’s your prerogative. Yet what I want to remind you of is that what they are trying to do is to reach out to you about an opportunity that they perceive may be superior to what you currently have. It may pay you more, and get you closer to home, improve your quality of life, give you access to training and skills you don’t have etc.. What’s the problem? You’re going to field a question through Messenger? This is such a big problem?

And if you say no to it, what did it cost you? A minute or a minute and a half of your time? What’s the big whoop?

Open up your privacy settings. Let recruiters be able to find you even if you are not actively looking for a job. Make sure your employer is listed because they are brand may help you. Make it easy for people to locate you.

The skills needed to find a job are different yet complement the skills needed to do a job.
