Social Media Live Debate
Last updated 5-Aug-10 14:23
Less than a year ago the AGR (Association of Graduate Recruiters) warned that ‘social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter should not be used by employers to recruit graduates'. Fast forward 10 months and how much things have changed. In an ever increasingly competitive market it seems that social media can help graduates get that edge over their peers. On the other hand it is also changing the world of recruitment where these days you'll find a lot more employers surfing the social media channels in hot pursuit of their ideal candidate.
A large percentage of you are completely unaware of how beneficial social media can be when looking for a job. We wanted to have this live discussion to hear from both you and employers across the region. You'll be surprised at how much we discussed and on more than one occasion it got quite lively! If you're serious about getting a job this is something you should definitely use alongside the traditional methods.
Read what everyone had to say here. It's still ongoing so if you have any thoughts or questions post away!
