Social Media and Your Brand

In today’s economy, one may only work for a company  1 to 3 years, instead of 20 as in the prior years, as a worker.

If you do nothing else, on a monthly basis update your resume on job boards, it keeps your name in circulation for future jobs. Yes, you must perform and  promote yourself, shamelessly at the same time to remain competitively.

Here’s a tip on using ‘keywords’ in your resume and social media to get human resource recruiters, attention.  Note, not using keywords in your resume will not allow there computer to detect  that you are in the system.

I have found the following  ‘keywords’  are used in general management resumes, business networking sites and job boards.

I recommend that you use them in your summaries, job description/accomplishments to describe yourself as an ‘obvious’ choice to solve a company problem.

1. Setting clear expectations.....state problem  and  then solution
2. Establish performance indicators
   
   
3. Increasing Profits
4. Meeting and Exceeding Deadlines
   
   
5. Quality Improvement
6. Leadership Skills
   
   
7. Training and developing skills
   
   

Finally, don’t forget to post the same professional picture and about me tag line on all available career networking sites and job boards, consistency keeps your personal brand memorable to others.
