			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know that social media is the newest and latest craze to hit the market since smart phones. But are we leveraging social media to its utmost potential? It’s a useful tool to connect with others and as last year’s job market ended on a positive note, the outlook for 2012 is optimistic. With the increasing percentage of companies planning to hire this year, job seekers need to utilize social media to get discovered and directly reach recruiters and hiring managers. But how?</p>
<p><strong>Establish Yourself<br />
</strong>Build your presence on social media networks to stand out and be more noticeable. Social media gives you the chance to tell your full story, the details and additional experiences that didn’t fit on a single piece of paper. Employers are attracted to individuals that are passionate about their work and interests. Give your profiles a personal voice to showcase that although you love anything techy, you’re more than a Java Script Developer and enjoy Zumba in your free time.</p>
<p><strong>Network, Network, Network<br />
</strong>Once you have established yourself as a professional and well rounded individual, focus on expanding your network. Just as you network at a cocktail party, connect with others and grow your professional and personal relationships. There may come a time when you need a job referral from the Project Manager you met at a business conference. The larger your network, the stronger your odds are of networking yourself into an interview.</p>
<p>Job seekers and recruiters alike should tap into the greatness that is social media. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+ offer an endless wealth of connections to build your network, professional reputation and exposure to employment opportunities.</p>
