Can Hootsuite Help You Get A Job?

Before you start reading this you really need to be using at least one social media platform, the more you’re using then the more you’ll see the benefits of using a dashboard like Hootsuite.

That’s right Hootsuite is classed as a social media management dashboard, a place where you can monitor what’s being said about you, your brand, your competitors and about certain keywords. It is used to schedule posts, track mentions and monitor the chatter. Once you’re ready to set a social media management dashboard up go to Hootsuite & register, it’s free however there are paid for upgrades should you wish to get more advanced.

Hootsuite allows you to create “streams” ( AKA columns) streams are set up to have different activity feeds going on at once.

If we take Twitter, one stream could be mentions, another could be tweets sent, the next could be tweets from a company you’re watching, the stream next to that could be a particular industry you’re interested in.

Get the idea? You can create streams for locations ie London or go one step further and create a stream for the location and the job e.g London Marketing Jobs
Searching for jobs can be time consuming but when you have all your streams set up pulling in all the jobs, keywords and locations for you it becomes slightly easier

If you wanted to work locally you can Geo-target your searches which means the searches returned will be filtered, local to you. To do this you will see the magnifying glass (search icon) in the top right hand corner. Put your search in & click the compass looking icon to receive filtered local searches, you can save this search as stream if you wish. ( Geo-targeting is an upgrade)

Once you’ve got the hang of creating streams for one network you can go and create streams for others, as well as your Twitter you can create streams for Linkedin, Facebook, Googleplus and others, that’s once you’ve connected your social networks.

Hootsuite with Linkedin

You can search for jobs on Linkedin using Hootsuite
You will have to connect Linkedin into your social networks then you can then create a stream for it.
You’ll get a choice of my updates, all updates, all discussions, most popular discussions, company updates, schedules or dates or job search.
