Summary
If you're in the market for a new job, how you go about your search may look a little different.
To stand out, candidates need to do more to show how they're different, advises Michelle Robin, executive job search consultant with Brand Your Career.
"Employers don't want to use it; they give incentives to their employees to refer candidates so they can dodge the software. That makes networking more important than ever."
"It's not just posting articles to share. You need to add value and position yourself as someone who has a voice on topics. Position yourself as a resource." Jen Morris, an executive career coach and job search strategist and founder of Career Inspo, calls this approach "Social seeking."
"The job seekers who stand out in today's crowded online environment are the ones who are proactive and have mastered how to market themselves on social networks," she says.
"Networking has always been the best way to land a job today's job search is one part networking-or social networking-and one part marketing campaign. With social networking, your online professional brand is more important than ever."
"Candidates think they're going to have more control than they will about working from home, but employees who don't have unique skillset or tenure may not have a choice," he says.
