ABOUT THIS TOPIC

tips about the evolving role of social media in today’s job market. Due to the

ever changing advancements in technology and the increasing usage of social

media in today’s culture it has become an inevitable communication tool for

seeking employment, advancing your current job, recruiting, and evaluating

we can keep our foot in the door. My goal of this blog is to explore and share

the tools and possibilities available in social media that will help you find

employment in the digital age.
