The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: "Using Social Media to Enhance Your Job Search"
by Matthew Levy

Saturday May 10, 2014 at 8:00 am

Please share with other groups you may be in.

The Presentation: "Using Social Media to Enhance Your Job
Search"

You've been there...

Applying for jobs posted on
internet job boards and never hearing a word. Sending your resume around and not getting many nibbles. Statistics show
that only a small percentage of jobs are posted and they attract hundreds of candidates. It can feel like playing the lottery. You wonder: how are you supposed to stand
out?

You'd think it would be
impossible, but it's not. It doesn't have to be that way. You just have to be a little creative…
Come invest in yourself by
learning from Matt during this interactive presentation how to stand out from
the crowd by using social media tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging,
email marketing and YouTube so that corporate recruiters, headhunters, hiring
managers and potential clients will be attracted to you, will find you, will
call you and ultimately hire you!
