Blog Post: GET ENGAGED IN THE PAGE!

I hear a lot from job seekers that they don't know what else to do and they feel they have done everything and are still coming up without a job. In a previous blog we discussed the importance of turning these frustrations into solutions. It's super easy to get caught up in the frustrations, but takes a truly dedicated and committed individual to not let them hold you back and instead turn it into something you can use.

To expand on this a bit more I also suggested to get engaged in our Facebook Fan page. I wanted to dive into this a bit more as I had a lot of great conversations last week in our community at Hispanic Unity's annual Diversity Career Fair and The BBLN's Annual Connections Job Fair for people with disabilities. It was great to have these conversations face-to-face with job seekers and give them the ability to become fans of our page while at the job fair. What I shared with each of them is simple, "Never before has there been a forum for job seekers to interact and talk to each other."

People reacted to this and it excited them. This is the something different everyone has been asking for. Will this absolutely get you a job quicker? I do not know.... Will this increase your opportunities? ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

So the cheezy line I kept hearing myself say over and over again was "Get engaged in the page!" Our Facebook Fan Page is a place for you to celebrate when you get an interview, offer support to those that might be stuck in a rut, and share best practices in the job search. Give it a go, a real true effort and GET ENGAGED IN THE PAGE!
