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

Are you looking for a job? Newly published e-book, From Student to Salary with Social Media, published by Victoria Tomlinson, CEO at Northern Lights PR, promises to uncover the secrets to job hunting success online.



    HARROGATE, ENGLAND, October 18, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 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.
