Social Media Workshop – Thursday, February 9

Presented by the SAO & SA!

12pm – Marketplace Food Court – Salon A

Find out why Social Media and Apps are essential tools to finding your dream job with our guest host Natasha D’Souza, the founder of Virtual EyeSee.

“Some companies are looking for new employees, but they’re not reading over resumes anymore. Instead, employers are using online social media profiles, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to get a better understanding of who their job candidate is. “

In a tough economy the number of open positions are less than the available talent. Employers face a daunting task of too many resumes and not enough time to review them let alone find the right candidate.

This interactive workshop will give you insights into finding your dream job by standing out from your competition.
You will learn how to leverage your existing social networks and transition them to that of a young professional. You will learn about the importance of:

  • Personal Branding
  • Creating and building your network
  • Research Opportunities
  • Prepare for the interview
  • Leverage social networks for your negotiations
  • Employer social network checks
  • Social media background checks
  • Be creative!!

In addition to this you will learn how to transition the use of your smart phone to that of a young professional and leverage various apps.
