Which Social Media Is Right For Your Career

Social Media is talk of the town. If you are not on social media, certainly you will miss on something. However, it’s a most confusing place; your world is limited with 5 inches or less. Android and Internet give a massive boost to social media. People of all categories (all IQ level) have the privilege to meet each other. This is why Social Media is viral. I am not a very social guy, I like keeping things within me. I am not much talkative till it’s not the matter of a debate and winning a competition. However, I am also into social media. Couple times I deleted my social accounts for one reason or the other. But need arises to recreate one again because I need to meet people, my fans and friends.

There are many social media solutions. You can use one for a purpose. However, in my opinion different social media serves to different purposes. Students should be early adopter to social media. A conscious selection of social media is important to build a strong profile. Admission Officers and Recruiters are much likely to scan your social media before making a call. For the benefits of learners and job seekers here I am classifying Social Media Selection For A Career

Twitter for job search caught my attention every now and then. While working for an Ireland Based Recruiter, I did rounds of many social media and dig deeper to find whether employer use it for hiring and if job seekers can get some benefit out of social media like Twitter.

From my experiences, for sure I can say, Hiring Managers and CEOs turn to twitter looking for potential workforce. Very recently, Elon Musk took it to Twitter while looking for hiring for Tesla Motors! Proof enough, 180 characters are not any less to give a shout out while looking for hiring or get hired.

How much social media is right for you

A majority of my readers comes from age group 13 and above as nature of this blog is to train the untrained, 'the learners'. I try my best to maintain the standard of this blog suitable for everyone. A percentage of readers are also parents and teachers.

Personally, I am not a social media person and more often I need to answer new connections 'why I don't have too many followers and friends at my LinkedIn or Facebook profile. I like to keep my personal things completely personal. However, like many others I cannot completely do away with social media, part because I don't want myself to lag behind from any new knowledge and part because I need this.
