Job Search Technique - Find Hiring Managers on Social Networks

Hmmm... Being unemployed stinks. Finding a job is a killer. How do I find the job? Why don"t I begin by finding the hiring manager instead? If I can do that, I might be on my way to getting the position that I want. Maybe online social networks offer the key I need to unlock the doors to the job market? Could be.  So the question is:  Where do I start?

Should You Make A Video Resume?

Well it looks like if you want to, you should do it quick. Video resumes are under fire. It could be a waste of time.

Yes, a video shows your great posture, sharp haircut and professional wardrobe, but unfortunately it also shows your race, age, sex and disabilities. Employment attorneys appear to be telling employers to give it the nix. (Of course for legal advice, consult an attorney.)

Take a look at one of our favorite websites, Overlawyered (www.overlawyered.com). According to this site, attorneys think it gives a corporation too much exposure, which is lawyer-eze for not a good idea. They"re saying not to accept these video resumes.

Overlawyered quotes attorney Dennis Brown from the San Jose, California office of Littler Mendelson which recently gave a seminar advising employers about the dangers of video resumés. Brown said, "Just don"t even deal with them [video resumes] ...My advice to my clients who have asked me about video resumes -- and I have had a lot of clients ask lately -- is do not accept, do not review video resumes." Other attorneys are also quoted as being "deadset" against the idea.

Employers are cautioned against the risk of this sort of "unnecessary knowledge" in terms of discrimination. There are also comments on this website from the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Not everyone has access to the necessary equipment, nor the skills to use it.

Of course we"re all wondering about this Internet thing and jobs. It "s common sense to assume that employers and recruiters check out candidates on the Internet. This gives new meaning to the old adage, "Never put anything in black and white you wouldn"t want the whole world to see." There"s the cache, which seems to give eternal life to things on the Internet.

Prudent people don"t put anything on blogs they wouldn"t say in person. This is just etiquette, emotional intelligence and best practices.

Emotional intelligence is about self-awareness and this includes predicting what effect your words and action may have-for you and for others.

So, unless the job you"re applying for requires video skills (graphic artist, for instance), etc., it looks like making a video will be a waste of time-sooner or later.
