GENS X&Y = a nity. Formalities ignored, sharingmeans finding, tech is easy, random is life. Consideryour lens. Suit & tie = distrust.

TRADITIONAL SPRAY-AND-PRAY JOB SEARCH: orgopens job req, publicizes, resumes flood in,recruiters sift, candidates validated, o er made.1:54 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
REALITIES: recruiters overwhelmed, no incentive/no way to vet all applicants. They resort toemployee referrals & online search.1:55 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
REALITIES: As a door-knocker, you are making theask for time, attention from time-starved recruitersacting as gauntlets. Most rejected.1:55 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint

WHY SOCIAL MEDIAFOR SOURCING?Resumes never tell thefull picture. Passions?Quirks? Work habits?

2MM people signing up for LinkedIn EVERY MONTH. 80% ofcompanies using it to find employees. Vs. 50000 job boards.One place to look!
15
RT @ElaineVarelas: “Job bds usedless & less by emplyrs as a sourcefor new candidates.”
RT @LinkedIn: “Easier to sourcehard-to-find professionals usingsocial networks.”
Work & personal lives rarelyseparated anymore. When weboomers separate the two, GenXassumes we’re concealing stu .Trust key to hiring!

VETTING CANDIDATES: proof of workexperience, thought leadership, relationships,
tenure, public blowups, fraud. Evencheesecake pix.
2:07 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
LinkedIn testimonials can be reciprocal. Chkpipl.com, zoominfo.com, youtube, flickr. Chk
sales figure claims, online "fights." A big deal?
2:07 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
Do they badmouth former (worse: existing)employers online? Realize: it’s often in a
venting-to-peers context.

MANAGING EMPLOYEES: Twitter, Facebookmean that info, photos can & are often sharedw/world. RT @emarketer: 29MM smartphonesin US!
2:07 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
Some employers banning any social sites toforce getting wk done. Problem: this turns adeaf ear to important external conversation.
2:08 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
Most emplyees not out to damage brand. RT@sharlyn_lauby: blogging guidelines crucial.Focus on what they CAN do, rather than don'ts.

2:09 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
TIP: Measure what employees get done, notsocial time. Good old-fashioned performancemeasurement, done through hands-onmanagement, works.

2:10 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
PR crises can happen in theblink of an eye. Set uplistening tools to monitorblogosphere & avoid gettingblindsided. Ex: @dominos

The new job search is about BEING FOUND, notknocking on unmarked doors—or worse,busting them down. Don’t be a stalker on amission.
2:12 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
The bigger ur online intellectual footprint, themore likely u will be found by the rt people.But also, be interesting, personable, real.
2:13 PM Sep 25 from PowerPoint
This way, you’re in the driver’s seat. Less likely to beblocked/deleted. They’ll vet u, & when they call,you’ll know they’re interested.
