Social media is being used more and more as a main component of many marketing campaigns. How can you make the best use of social media to enhance your job search or recruiting efforts?</p><p>Illinois workNet held two webinars that focused on social media hosted by our very own social media strategist Dee Reinhardt.
<br></p><p>One was geared to
<strong>job seekers </strong>and covered all of the major social platforms. While you are in job search mode, you are branding yourself as a product to market to a company. Because social media is ever evolving, we discussed tips and tricks that address strategy while using the platforms more than actual how-to's.
<br></p><p>The other webinar was geared toward
<strong>recruiting </strong>through social media. The guest speaker on this HR focused webinar was Chris Larson of the Barton Professional Group, a recruiting company in the Chicago suburbs. Dee and Chris discussed tactics businesses could use on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, LinkedIn groups, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube.
