Effective Job Search Tip: All-in-one Status Updates
If you are using LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook in helping you network for a job, you don’t want to waste too much time keeping your content current on all sites. Wouldn’t it be great if you you could update your status once and it gets syndicated to all of your other social media? It’s possible. The best solution that I have found so far is Ping.fm.
The steps are very easy.
- Create a Ping.fm account;
- Under the heading “Social Networks” click the link “Click here to add networks;”
- Select the accounts from their large list of social networks;
- Simply follow their instructions to set up your accounts
To make life simple you can email your status updates.
- Click on the “Dashboard” tab;
- Under the heading “Services / Tools” click on the “Email” link;
- Copy the email address that they provide and;
- Add it to your email contacts list;
- Then simply send an email to that address;
- All of your sites will be updated.
Test all of your accounts to see that the status has been changed. It worked perfectly for me. I tested it with Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
As a job seeker I would suggest that you keep your social networks to the most popular ones in your country or where you desire to work. I recommend using only Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn because they are the most popular services in North America that will have the greatest impact on your job search networking.
Good luck! Let me know if I can add more clarity to this post.
