00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,680
- A new report from job bites

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,580
says 37% of recruiters

4
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:12,960
are now using Instagram

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,170
as part of their search
for the perfect candidate.

6
00:00:15,170 --> 00:00:16,890
Job Bite SVP, Kelly Lavin

7
00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:18,590
says that Instagram can help give them

8
00:00:18,590 --> 00:00:21,110
a better understanding
of who the person is,

9
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:22,500
by the way they present themselves

10
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:23,780
and the content they share.

11
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:26,430
So it might be time to pay
a little more attention

12
00:00:26,430 --> 00:00:27,340
to Instagram.

13
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:28,610
Here are four simple ways

14
00:00:28,610 --> 00:00:31,163
the platform can help you land a job.

15
00:00:31,163 --> 00:00:32,590
(soft music)

16
00:00:32,590 --> 00:00:34,310
Instagram is a visual medium,

17
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:35,900
so you should feel free to post photos

18
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,250
of your dog and the new
recipe you mastered.

19
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:40,700
But, when you're using it
as part of your job search

20
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:41,960
it's important to showcase

21
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,640
your skills, values and
experiences as well.

22
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,314
Vicky Salemi, a career expert@monster.com

23
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:50,310
says you should share professional
achievements on Instagram

24
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:52,190
while using relevant hashtags.

25
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:54,561
So it's easier for recruiters to find you.

26
00:00:54,561 --> 00:00:56,350
(soft music)

27
00:00:56,350 --> 00:00:57,810
Once your Profile is in shape,

28
00:00:57,810 --> 00:00:59,540
follow the companies you're interested in

29
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:00,640
and engage with them.

30
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Lavin says that liking company posts

31
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,970
and adding valuable insights

32
00:01:03,970 --> 00:01:05,613
can be a good way to get noticed.

33
00:01:05,613 --> 00:01:07,810
(soft music)

34
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:09,590
Searching for hashtags like hiring

35
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:11,980
or jobs can help unearth opportunities

36
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:13,830
that you might not have found otherwise.

37
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:15,560
And as you follow your dream employers,

38
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,570
note the hashtags they're using.

39
00:01:17,570 --> 00:01:18,420
When it makes sense,

40
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:21,263
Salemi recommend sharing
their content and hashtags.

41
00:01:21,263 --> 00:01:23,170
(soft music)

42
00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:24,003
Salemi says,

43
00:01:24,003 --> 00:01:26,230
the more you follow
certain types of companies,

44
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:27,960
the more Instagram will help you.

45
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,330
You can also follow
professional organizations

46
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:33,290
in various industries to stay
on top of new developments.

47
00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:34,180
Salemi says,

48
00:01:34,180 --> 00:01:36,630
you should treat Instagram
as a visual resume

49
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:39,643
of your skills, experiences,
strengths, and interests.
