NEW e-Book by Northern Lights PR on Using Social Media to Get a Job

HARROGATE, ENGLAND, October 18, 2012

Victoria Tomlinson, CEO at Northern Lights PR & Marketing, has published a unique new e-book to help graduates and job seekers to get a job using social media.

The e-book, entitled From Student to Salary with Social Media, contains over 100 tips on connecting with employers online and using social media to get a job, with practical, step by step instructions on building a professional online profile on all the main social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

With 59% of Senior Managers now saying that social media will have a major impact on how businesses find information, people and expertise more quickly, the importance of a person's online profile when looking for a job has never been greater.

Anne Watson, headhunter and author of The Definitive Job Book, says:

"Social media is the fundamental building block to any graduates embarking on a career. This book provides first class, up to date and relevant, practical advice."

In a tough job market, where around 20% of graduates are unemployed and more than one in three are currently employed on a lower skilled job than they are qualified for [source: The Guardian], it is more important than ever to stand out from the crowd. One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to demonstrate your knowledge and skills is to build up a blog and use your social media profiles to promote yourself positively to employers.

In addition to the practical social media tips on how to look for a job, how to approach employers, and how to demonstrate your knowledge and skills through blogging, the e-book also contains a list of DOs and DON'Ts, including some "absolute no-nos" on social media etiquette and building a credible and professional online presence.

The book is available online to download from the Northern Lights PR website, priced at just 99p. Click here to download the e-book.
