Week 3 - MKTG347 - Resume linked with Social Media

     Using the social media as your resume can be of more benefit than you think. The framework of the resume will be more appealing to the eye and professional. LinkedIn along with Google can be valuable source to make your resume go digital. All a resume is used for is to get you the interview not the job. So you want to make your resume look worthy, but you don’t want to put everything on it. Leave the employee with the urge to meet you after looking over your resume, so what a better way to do that than through a well-designed LinkedIn profile.

     LinkedIn, along with other social media sources, has made it easier for employees and employers to connect in the professional world. As appose to the old fashion of mailing out your resume and waiting longer periods of time for delivery and reply. It’s also to the benefit of the environment to go onto digital resumes to waste less paper and hence, save trees.

     I highly recommend that if you haven’t already created a LinkedIn account, or another social media source to replace your resume, to do so. It is for your own great benefit, just make sure like any resume to continuously update it with new skills learnt, new jobs, blogs, and so on. The nice thing about most social media source is that they are at our disposal on apps for phones. This make it just that much more helpful since we all have phones that we carry with us at all times. So remember make yourself stand out from the group. I myself am working to develop a more effective profile in LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/arturosolis0923. Go connect with me, I’ll appreciate any feedback.
