your field or space?
Personal Branding consists of three elements: • Value Proposition: What do you stand for? • Differentiation: What makes you stand out? • Marketability: What makes you compelling?

LinkedIn Groups
Get involved in LinkedIn Groups based
on your interests and area of expertise.
The interaction, collaboration, and
attention from employers, recruiters and colleagues within
the industry.
Position yourselfas a leader!
Did you know: All groups
have specific, targeted job boards?
![Page 11: Maximizing Social Media Platforms 6.9.2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/548aceb8b4795926788b4711/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The world of Twitter?
Yes, that’s right – Twitter has literally changed the landscape of the Internet, business, marketing, career search, networking and
beyond.
Did you know…In January 2009, 29% of businesses used Twitter to find
candidates.
And…as of January of 2010, 88% of companies are using Twitter to recruit
and attract talent via keyword searches.
![Page 12: Maximizing Social Media Platforms 6.9.2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/548aceb8b4795926788b4711/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is significantly more effective -
and far less expensive - than
posting to traditional job
boards.
With one ‘tweet’, thousands of people can be notified of job
openings in their
specific field.
Employers observe the value you add to your given field through the
information you are sharing.

Twitter Lists
Being listed on Twitter is similar to a letter of recommendation. It elevates your professional social media presence and
lends credibility to your work. They are also a great way to
determine if you are ‘on brand.’
Listing others shows your appreciation for the value they
add, encourages your followers to follow them, and
gains their attention.
