Another Mutt Media Tip

Ok….so this was not an original one of our Top 10 Tips but it well could’ve and probably should have been.

Considering the extent to which social media and micro blogging can reach, these mediums can and should be used to let your network of contacts know that you are in the market for work and what you can offer.

Remember that you can be exposed to not only your contacts, but to your contacts’ contacts too, depending upon their account settings. Like a virus, word will spread that you are available for employment or internship. I may not be looking to hire, but think of it like the old Faberge Organic Shampoo (with pure wheat germ oil ‘n honey!) commercials….(yes, I am dating myself) where the girl was so enamored of her shampoo that she told two friends and they told two friends and so on and so on and so on…..take a look if you’d like a stroll down memory lane.

This is a great example of viral marketing in it’s most basic form and the principle can be applied online to your job search efforts. Visibility is key and as you know – once it’s out there, it’s out there. So go ahead, post your unemployed “status” on Facebook or Tweet away to your heart’s content. It can only help.

Oh, and provide an online link to your resume that will contain your contact information…you never know whose virtual desktop it will land on!

Mutt Media | The Daily Bone 5.20.09 Top 10 Tips for Marketing Yourself Online Tip #6: Learn some new skills!

Another Tip from Mutt Media NY

6.  The economic downturn we are currently experiencing may just be a blessing in disguise. While it may not feel this way, this may be your opportunity to learn some new skills, which will enhance your résumé. There are new careers popping up every day as a result of the surge in internet use and it’s widespread availability. Online tutorials are readily available on YouTube and a wide variety of sites, depending upon your interests.

I like to think of this economic downturn as an agent for change. There is a Gold Rush of sorts happening in the online world even as I write this that is presenting opportunities for new careers that never existed before.

Ever wanted to publish your writing? Well, now it’s easier than ever. With a plethora of online publishing applications, the advent of self-publishing and even the simple web log (BLOG) we are all publishers of our own intellectual property. This is a great time to learn a software program, or graphic design. Hmmmm, yes, I am noticing a theme here – digital media! Well, I am assuming you’re getting a sense of my leanings and where I think the compass is pointing.

It can’t hurt to learn a few skills, and there’s no time like the present! Dig in and learn some new skills…this will absolutely expand the playing field when it comes time to create your resume.
