Dear Agung,
Social media is the buzz nowadays, even with your job search. The trick is finding ways to use social media that will actually yield results. And it's not easy. But it is important, because 91% of employers screen candidates with social media! Yup, you read that right. So here's a quick breakdown with a link to a related blog post on each topic to help you become a well-versed in social media in your job search:
  • Linkedin - The largest platform available for professional social networking on the web, and we strongly believe if you're going to focus on any one social media outlet, this is the one.
  • Facebook - Facebook can offer a great way to connect with possible contacts, join groups, and let others know about your job search. But make sure you're keeping it professional!
  • Twitter - Twitter is all about making connections in a fast way and sharing information. Although there's a lot of clutter, it can also be used beneficially in job searching.
  • Pinterest - The fastest growing social media site (even faster than Facebook!) caters online creativity and inspiration as a source for your job search or career.
  • Instagram - Yes even Instagram! If you love photos and are an Instagram fan, this is a fun way to incorporate social media in your job search.
As always, please read on for more job search tips and great job leads, and thank you so much for considering us a trusted resource in your job search for telecommuting, freelance, part-time, and other flexible jobs. We hope you have a great rest of the week. Many cheers,

Sara, and the FlexJobs Team
