JOB SEEKING & Adding Value in The Process

Bringing Customer Service to The Forefront

It’s been said, “You’ll only get out of it how much you put into it.” This is certainly true to some degree.

In my years of job seeking, numerous amounts of people should be utilizing social media (LinkedIn) as a tool in their job searching activity. Instead, I’ve witnessed numerous homeless and low-income recipients go days on in receiving employment services from agencies and organizations without the training of social media and social media networking literacy. If training were given, it would be the bear brims of the basic.

I believe the homeless and low-income people of today aren’t being given a fair chance to compete in today’s growing job market. With limited funding and resources due to financial budget should not be the reason for another human being to be unemployed.

We as career development specialist and job coaches must do more than we are doing and in a more positively impactful way.

I don’t want to see any human being or community homeless, underserved, or having barriers to employment continue to be disadvantaged from achieving their career goal(s), education or training. This includes the LGBT community as well. From incarceration, to the streets, to corporate America, It’s vital all members in society have a fair and equal opportunist chance at being employed in America’s competitive economic workforce.

So start making yourself accustom to social media use, cover letter writing, training, certifications, resume writing so that you may increase your chances of opportunity but in this article I want to give you a head start with tips on the best practices for social media networking use as it applies to your job search activity.
