7 Things You Need to Know to Land a Job Using Social Media

In today’s tough employment market, your social media presence can make you (as you tweet your way to a new job) or break you (as that regrettable Facebook photo sends your crumpled résumé sailing into the trash). Yes, like it or not, the “social” in social media is misleading: The phenomenon has now fully permeated our professional lives. That means if you’re one of America’s 13.9 million unemployed or if you’re just looking to make your next career move, it’s time to consider how to use that reality to your advantage.

S. Lynn Cooper is a serial entrepreneur and founding board member of three non-profit organizations and five distinct corporate entities. Lynn enjoys counseling others in the areas of strategic planning, social and new media. Lynn is the Principal of Socially Ahead, a multifaceted media and technology company that creates, manages and integrates social media campaigns for individuals and small businesses on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google+ and Quora.
