RESEARCHING NETWORKING SITES

BELOW IS A LIST OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES AND HOW I COULD USE THEM TO SELL
MY SKILLS TO POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS.

FACEBOOK

“CREATING A FAN PAGE PROVIDES YOUR BUSINESS AND BRANDS WITH ANOTHER
BRANDING OUTPOST ON THE WEB WHERE PROSPECTS, CUSTOMERS, FUTURE
EMPLOYEES, VENDORS, AND EVEN THE MEDIA CAN FIND INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR
COMPANY AND THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU OFFER.” HAVING A FACEBOOK
FAN PAGE ALLOWS ME TO EASILY ADVERTISE MYSELF TO THE PUBLIC AND DISPLAY THE
SKILLS I POSSESS. UPDATING MY PAGE REGULARLY WITH MY WORK CAN HELP ME GAIN
A FAN BASE AS WELL AS INTERACT WITH THEM.

TWITTER
A TWITTER ACCOUNT WOULD BE USEFUL TO DISPLAY MY INTERESTS AND RELATED
HOBBIES. THIS WILL MAINLY BE INFORMATION REGARDING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND
THE NEWS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN IT. TWITTER IS ESSENTIALLY THE SITE I WILL
USE TO VOICE MY OPINION WITHIN PROFESSIONAL LIMITS AS I FEEL THIS WOULD GIVE A
POTENTIAL EMPLOYER A SENSE OF MY PERSONALITY AND ALLOW THEM TO EXPLORE
MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS. THIS WILL ALSO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND
COMMON VALUES AND JUDGE WHETHER I’D BE COMPATIBLE WITH THEM,

INSTAGRAM
INSTAGRAM IS AN EXCELLENT SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE FOR SELLING MY SKILLS TO
POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS. THIS IS DUE TO INSTAGRAM BEING A VISUAL SOCIAL MEDIA
AND THE WORK I CREATE IS EXACTLY THAT, VISUAL. I CAN UPLOAD THE BEST PICTURES,
ARTWORK AND SNIPPETS OF VIDEOS THAT I HAVE MADE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE, LIKE
AND COMMENT. A POTENTIAL EMPLOYER COULD SEE WHAT MY PAGE CONSISTS OF
AND THE SKILLS IT SHOWS, GIVING THEM AN IDEA OF WHETHER I WOULD BE CAPABLE
OF DOING THE WORK THEY NEED DONE.

LINKEDIN

“LINKEDIN HAS A DECENT SEARCH FEATURE THAT CAN HELP YOU FIND PEOPLE IN YOUR
INDUSTRY AND IN THE INDUSTRIES YOU SERVE. THAT MAKES IT EASIER NOT ONLY TO FIND
POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS, BUT ALSO TO KEEP TABS ON WHAT YOUR COMPETITION IS
OFFERING – BOTH OF WHICH CAN HELP YOU BE MORE COMPETITIVE.” LINKEDIN IS A
VERY USEFUL PLATFORM DUE TO BEING BUSINESS ORIENTATED. I CAN SET MY PROFILE
TO SHOW WHAT MY PROFESSION IS AND JOIN GROUPS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY, MAKING
CONNECTIONS IN AND OUT WITH THE HOPE IT RESULTS WITH WORK OFFERS.
