JOB SEARCH, SOCIAL MEDIA & NETWORKING - 1 day Workshop

Searching for a new job is hard work. In fact, it can be the toughest “job” you’ll ever have.

The key to job search success is to treat the entire process like a business. Being prepared with an action plan and putting in place a number of parallel job search approaches, increase your chances of having a successful campaign.

Different approaches means understanding Social Recruiting which is a fast growing trend in Ireland. It offers recruiters the opportunity to engage with potential candidates (fee free) and talk about real job opportunities that may never be advertised (no cost). 420,000 Irish professionals and 90+% of companies who took part in a social media recruitment survey in Ireland, now have Linkedin pages (Social Media in Recruitment Survey - Summer 2010 – NCI).

Our expert coaches suggest the following parallel approaches, including exploitation of social media to enhance your job hunting, and our 1 day workshop will provide you with the coaching and practical tips to fully adopt each approach:
