Linkedin Linkedin Linkedin – Great way to network!!

Let’s face it any jobseeker relying on reactive job hunting strategies will struggle in this job market. Jobseekers need to take a proactive approach as this will help them access the hidden job market.

Linkedin is a social media networking tool becoming very popular with jobseekers. Well I will let you into a secret — I know of one leading MNC who are no longer using recruitment agencies and are trying to phase out job boards. They are training their recruiters to source candidates through social media networking tools like linkedin, facebook and twitter.

Is information about a potential employer important?

It certainly is and it is a key component to proper interview preparation. There are a few of reasons. It shows the interviewer that you have prepared for the interview and provides evidence that you have a focused to job hunting. Secondly it benefits you by confirming that this is the company that you want to join.

Sources of information.

The Internet – Most companies will have a website that can provide valuable information. It is important that you search beyond this. Do online searches to find up to date information that could help you stand out from the competition. Most of the competition will just use the company website.

People working for the company – A great resource providing valuable insider information. If you don’t know any employees then ask your network of friends, work colleagues or family.

Competition – Request information from competitors about the potential employer and information about the competitor.

Papers – Many interviewers will ask what news caught your eye in the morning papers so have a quick read before any interview. It is important that you do not miss any information about the company. I have seen this happen.
