Technology is making it easier for recruiters and job seekers to connect, but to remain on top of the virtual job market you have to keep improving your social network. In addition to a Facebook profile and Twitter account, you should be leveraging a host of social connection tools.
Social connection tools can help you make better connections. If you want to be where the jobs are, you not only need to be on LinkedUp and Facebook but you also need a LinkedUp connection between the two social media centers. LinkedUp is the popular job board that provides up-to-date job postings directly from company sites.
Networking tools can also optimize your network. In a more dynamic and fast moving job market, it will be hard to keep up with the competition if you are posting to one site at a time. Tools such as Ping.fm allow you to broadcast a message to as many as 30 social media sites. If you are on the popular Ning network OpenNetwork, you can now link your Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook accounts.
Naymz has quickly grown to a community of one million professional networkers precisely because it offers an extensive list of options to connect people and social media content, as well as the analytics to track social media activity.
Keeping up with all the new connection tools, however, can be a lot of work, so here’s a tip. Follow the crowd. The most populated social media job sites will lead to the best social connection tools.
