In response to an article published on the Economic Times, fishbat, a leader in Internet marketing companies, responds to the benefits of using social media to assist in job searches.

On July 15, fishbat, a leader in Internet marketing companies, responds to an Economic Times article, which analyzes the perks of using social media platforms like LinkedIn, to assist in job searches.

According to a July 9th Economic Times article titled “Marketers Tap Social Media to Woo Professionals,”LinkedIn provides a unique platform for which professionals can market themselves to employers. Unlike other social media sites, LinkedIn attracts business professionals who are looking for new jobs.Because of the poor job market, many people have been using the website to post resumes, contact employers and even apply to job postings. LinkedIn also makes it easier for employers to find potential employees.

Justin Maas, vice president of client relations at fishbat, a leader in Internet marketing companies, says having a professional social media account on sites such as LinkedIn can help employers get to know you better. “The ability to successfully market yourself on social media as a professional already gives you an upper hand when compared to the rest of the applicant pool,” he says.“It not only allows the employer to get a better idea of who you are prior to being interviewed, but it also depicts the level of professionalism that employers are looking for.”

Most employers want to hire someone with adequate experience. On LinkedIn, it’s easier to see that person’s experience while viewing their influence, says Maas. “If you’re looking at a potential employee with over 500 connections and they have a significant amount of experience, chances are you’re going to want to interview them,” Maas says. “LinkedIn not only shows success visually, but it also shows validity and authenticity.”

Maas says this shows the why society relies heavily on social media today. “With sites like LinkedIn, social media gives professionals and employers an advantage that we didn’t have ten years ago,” he says.“It is pertinent for young professionals to familiarize themselves with these websites, as they’re extremely relevant for today’s job market and will only become more important.”
