Feb. 10th Meeting TOPIC

How Recruiters are Using Social Media

We hear that recruiters are using social media to find candidates for open positions, but how exactly are they doing that, and what does that mean for us as career professionals? 

Our February 10th meeting will feature a panel of recruiters representing several industries.  Recruiters will discuss how they are using social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to source, qualify and present candidates.  They will address questions such as: 

  • How, specifically, do recruiters find candidates using social media? 
  • What is seen as a positive, and what is seen as a negative, in someone's social presence? 
  • How can someone know what "key words" will make them more likely to be found by a recruiter? 
  • How can our clients develop ongoing relationships with recruiters in their industry and target companies?

You will learn how to better guide your clients, students and participants who are actively seeking new opportunities, and those who desire to improve their online presence as a component of their professional brand.

Please plan to stay after the meeting, if you are able, for an open session on what topics you want to learn more about in the coming months.

President's Message by Dr. Helen Richardson

"Career" has its roots as a French word for "race course".  As the new President of this organization, my goal is to be the jockey that inspires the organization to run its best race.

 Career is life, there really is no separation.  When we help someone with their career issues, we help them with their life.  This is a journey of learning, reflecting and taking action.  As career professionals, we are challenged to walk our talk.  I know that when I work with individuals, I learn about myself, and I challenge myself to deal with myself.   

I am privileged to work with dedicated people who fully own the impact we can have on individual work experiences and individual lives.  Our work is indeed special - a vocation - a calling.  Working together, we all become better "masters of our fate and captains of our souls."

Sincerely,

Helen A. Richardson, Ed.D., President
