Here’s some food for thought as you head into your weekend. Even though as recent college graduates you are lacking one thing when it comes to your job hunt — years of experience — what you do have is a jump on the competition when it comes to your online presence. Case in point? This New York Times Article: Social Networking Your Way to a New Job.
The article discusses how the landscape of applying for a job has changed dramatically with the launch of social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter and how these communities are changing the job search experience. This is not new news to you as savvy digital gurus yourselves. So, if anything, go into the weekend with confidence that while you may not have five to 10 years of experience as a manager at a company, what you do have is an understanding of online communities. Use this understanding to your advantage in your job search, and you will be finding opportunities others didn’t even know existed before long.
Good luck, and enjoy the last official weekend of August and your summer.
