Careers, Jobs, Small Business Seminars, Career Services, Job Searching & Resume Writing: Using Social Media to Find a Job
Social media, and particularly LinkedIn, is a key tool in any successful job search. But there are legal pitfalls of which most job seekers are unaware. Bruce A. Hurwitz, Ph.D., is president and CEO of Hurwitz Strategic Staffing, Ltd. An executive recruiter with over ten years' experience, and a "mega-user" of LinkedIn (having well over 42,000 first degree connections), he has successfully used LinkedIn to close scores of searches. While reference will be made to Twitter and Facebook, participants will learn how to use LinkedIn not just to find jobs but also to be found by recruiters and employers. Dr. Hurwitz is a recognized expert on career and employment issues. He has been cited in well over 550 articles, appearing in some 375 publications, across the US and 22 foreign countries. The host of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce’s weekly podcast, The Voice of Manhattan Business, he serves on the Chamber’s Board of Directors and is one of the Chamber’s Ambassadors.
