Facebook for Job Search
Sarah Rach-Sovich
Concerns
• Privacy – Yes, you can adjust your settings– BUT… assume it is all public (because most of it is!)
• Be appropriate
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Etc?
• Which one is best?• Apples – oranges• Different purposes, audiences, etc.• Even Linkedin & Twitter have a Facebook
Page• Vice versa – Twitter & FB have LI company pages – LI & FB have Twitter handles
• Largest social network• FB has more active users than LI• Primarily for personal rather than professional
networking• Recruiters and head hunters are gaining interest in
FB• Apps & Groups• MORE exposure! (google) • Bigger network! More jobs!
General Tips to Get Started
• Need an email address• Professional profile picture• Cover photo• Complete your profile• Add friends
FB Friends Tip
• Smart lists are geared toward professional networking
• Smart lists – group people based on how you know them– Can even post to specific groups
• You can change whose updates you see and don’t see (without un-friending)
• Pages Newsfeed
What else can you do?
• Post status updates– Text, photos, videos, links – Ask a question, fill in the blanks, caption a photo,
quotes, reference an article• Newsfeed• Write messages• Notes
And??• Visit other people’s walls (post on them)• Fan pages -- “like” them and create one (?)• Join groups – Add apps
Find Networking Events
• Facebook Events = Tons of invites!• Make going to them a priority -- Why? • There will be people you already know there, who
will introduce you to other people they know• Conversation starter… going to a Facebook event,
then continuing the event with photos and posts online afterward is a great way to strengthen relationships and begin new ones!
• Apps – MeetUp, EventBrite
Connecting other SM• My Twitter connects to FB… so it auto posts• Read articles and use the share button to create
posts• Be careful – again, different audiences, different
purposes – they don’t want to see the exact same thing!
