Social media can be a fantastic opportunity for job seekers to market their professional skills and network. However, be shrewd about protecting privacy. Social media profiles can often reveal personal details that, if asked in interview, would be illegal – for instance sexual orientation or age. By making these obvious online, you are putting yourself in a position to be judged on them when applying for a job. There have even been instances where Facebook has revealed such details normally only available through enhanced disclosure.

Most people use Facebook to communicate with friends and family. It is primarily a personal network not a professional network. Get to know Facebook’s privacy settings and use them! You can choose what to show to different tiers of people, such as those completely outside your network or friends of friends. If you want to be super vigilant make only a very limited amount viewable to non-friends. Or, if some of your content is visible to non-approved contacts, think about what you’re posting online and the impression it gives.

Whereas social media was once seen as ‘a bit of fun’, there are now cases where what has been posted has been taken very seriously. The student Liam Stacey was jailed for a tweet that incited racial hatred towards the footballer Fabrice Muamba. Obviously this is an extreme example, but think about the impression your Tweets give if you’re on Twitter. Using text abbreviations and having personal conversations in public tweets could look careless and sloppy to potential employers.

Many job seekers underutilise LinkedIn. It is a professional social network and for some roles a sneak peek into your connections could be appealing to employers. It’s like a CV but so much more, with recommendations and the opportunity to expand on your experience. Plus, it makes you very visible online.

So, if you’re looking for a job, what are you going to do online to set yourself up? If you’re an employer, services such as Capita recruitment vetting service help you filter candidates.

Firstly, what is SEO? This is the process of changing a website so that it can be found by people who are searching for matching content on search engines (Google etc.). It also encompasses marketing activities that can be carried out to the same end.

Most career websites and mobile recruitment websites belonging to corporates are not well set up for SEO. The main search engine Google needs to be able to read the content on these websites to match it up to what people are searching. Most corporate sites however have a separate website (with information about them) and ATS that lists the jobs and lets candidates apply. These are often two completely separate places and what’s more most ATSs disallow Google for reading their content. As a result Google can’t see all the many jobs that are listed, and so people searching for the same type of vacancies never see these results!

So what can be done to prevent this? Firstly an existing or new website can be manipulated to make it super easy for Google to read the content on there. First this requires understanding who your target audience are and what key phrases they’re typing into Google. These words can then be built into the structure and content of your site, making it easy for Google to see them and to show them to relevant searches.

Google has a very complicated and secret algorithm for returning search results. It’s the Holy Grail for SEO specialists but in truth only a few Google employees know what it is. However what we do know is that one of the things Google likes is a very credible site. Credibility is shown by lots of links into your site by other credible sites. Credibility of this sort is cumulative so if you’re the BBC and lots of people are reading your content and linking to it on a daily basis, it’s seen to be credible. Marketing activities that develop your content and links to your site can really help you get result from search engines.

This quick intro into SEO is just the beginning and a chat to a 4MAT marketing or SEO specialist will help you understand what you need to be doing to optimise your website.

A FREE AUDIT FOR WEBSITE
A website is much appreciated by its technical quality and in content. Its durability and its performance directly derived from the way it was designed and built.
During a design phase and by mode of development chosen, we often forget the basics (presence of tags, optimization of title, etc.). These small mistakes can be costly, so be it, today there are online tools to check a few simple but vital, I mean free audit.

The major audits of a technical audit:
Compliance with standards and accessibility guidelines
- Browser compatibility and scalability
- Quality of source code and the merits of the technologies used
- Length and presence of tags
- Proper functioning and visibility links
- Time loading pages and images

Of course the audit is not everything, but it’s a good call to order, so why not use it?

The one I prefer and I recommend it Woorank, it is rapid and complete, the information is relevant and it even allows you to get your complete report in PDF format via email.

Then Atypirank, it is slower but provides additional information (keyword density), most players will have fun comparing their results with other sites submitted.

And you, what tools do you use to audit?

ABOUT AUTHOR
Fabrice Ducarme – Formation internet
French WordPress trainer and Prestashop. Aged 40, a passion for computers and the latest technology, he is the creator of the Internet Agency WibeWeb , You can find him on Facebook , Twitter and Google+

For starters, I think social sites such as Facebook and Twitter that he held in such low regard certainly have their value. I argued that I found it a very useful way of keeping in touch with old friends who have moved away and I no longer visit due to many other commitments. I love to be able to continue to hear their news and be a part of their lives. In a world without the internet, I fear the letters would have become fewer and further between, until eventually we lost contact and I wouldn’t have experienced the joy that they continue to bring to my life through their occasional characteristic quips and photos of family days out. In addition, I think it is important that these websites have enabled shy people to finally have a voice in society, where in real life social situations they would spend their lives being the silent one in the background, afraid to speak. In fact, the internet allows everyone to have an outlet for their thoughts. With the many blogs, the facility provided by websites to allow people to comment on topics and add their own articles, opinions are voiced and reach a wider audience.  This allows them to share and connect with like minded people so a network can be formed.

Regarding internet shopping, I don’t want the high street to disappear. I love mooching round the shops – it’s one of my favourite pastimes – particularly as I work on the computer all day. I admit, I booked a Christmas shopping trip to Manchester with my sister and had a fabulous day wondering round the shops, restaurants and bars. I wouldn’t want that to become a thing of the past as the internet takes over. I think it’s important for us to support local and high street retailers, but we have to be realistic. These are times of austerity, to say the least. The overheads that shops incur as a result of being in town are phenomenal. The leasing and maintenance of premises, staff costs and utility bills make selling through shops a very expensive way of selling. This cost is of course passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods that are sold. For a treat, to have a trip around the shops on my day off is a luxury, but I can’t afford to spend money this way all of the time.

Shops have of course cottoned on to the fact that the costs for providing goods on the internet are no where near those incurred in physical premises. This means that they can pass on discounts to the happy internet customer. That’s where we come in with our UK voucher codes website, collating and advertising the discounts that stores are able to pass on. Plus with the ability to easily shop around and find the best deals, something that is not really as easy to do by going out to the shops, we can make our money go much further.

My final point to the man, who was by now starting to pay attention to my stance, was that the internet had been a godsend to people like my Gran. As she got older and began to have problems with her health, my Gran took to learning as much as she could about computers to enable her to keep contact with the outside world. She was particularly thrilled that she could continue to satisfy her clothes shopping urges by browsing her favourite stores online and getting things delivered to her door. She also found Tesco delivery invaluable and would have struggled to get her basic food if it hadn’t been for the ability to do this through the internet.

I concluded that while people should ensure they keep in touch with the world outside of the internet and not let it dominate their lives, the value of the internet is limitless. It has opened up so many opportunities and possibilities and continues to help so many people in so many ways. It is definitely a good thing in my opinion… and do you know, I think I changed his mind.
